Whipped this up for the hubby, and he couldn't get enough!

Oftentimes, I find myself reminiscing about those warm summer evenings when I'd hang out with friends and family, firing up the grill and savoring juicy burgers. That's when I discovered the magic of Smashed Butter Burgers. This Midwestern twist on a classic is all about juicy patties with crispy edges, made irresistible by a generous pat of butter. If you're yearning for that diner-style burger with a buttery twist, this recipe will surely hit the spot. Plus, it's quick enough to whip up after a busy day at work.
These Smashed Butter Burgers pair wonderfully with a side of crispy fries or a fresh coleslaw. For a little extra indulgence, serve with a rich mac and cheese or a simple garden salad to balance out the richness. Don't forget a cold, crisp pickle spear to add a zingy contrast!
