PREPARATION & COOKTIME: 45mins

INGREDIENTS:

2-pound ground beef
4 oz Butter
1/4-teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8-teaspoon ground red pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 crusty hamburger buns, split, lightly toasted

DIRECTIONS:

Combine butter, pepper both red and black and garlic, knead till mixed thoroughly, refrigerate.

Meanwhile lightly shape ground beef into four 8-ounce 1-inch thick patties. Make a small hole in the top of each patty and place 1 ounce of the butter mix in the hole cover with the burger you removed to make the hole.

On the grill place the burgers over very low heat for approximately 25-30 minutes butter side up, do not turn, in the oven place on the middle rack and broil for approximately 20 minutes, check often to avoid over cooking. Watch the burgers until juices run clear; do not turn for optimum flavor.

Serve on lightly toasted hamburger buns with chosen condiments.
