Kacho's Favorite Butter Burgers

Ingredients:

Compound Butter:

1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh basil

1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley

1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon

A pinch cayenne pepper

2 large cloves garlic, minced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Roasted Garlic Aioli:

1 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

11 small cloves garlic, roasted and chopped

Burgers:

2 pounds fresh ground beef

4 slices American cheese

4 large burger buns

Directions:

For the compound butter: Stir together the butter, basil, parsley, tarragon, cayenne and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap in a 6-inch-long mound. Fold the plastic wrap over the mixture to enclose it, and roll it to form a log about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.

For the roasted garlic aioli: Blend the mayonnaise, lime juice, paprika, cayenne, cumin and garlic in a food processor until smooth.

For the burgers: Preheat the oven to broil.

Form the ground beef into 4 patties. Stuff a slice of the compound butter inside each and broil the burgers to the desired doneness. Add another slice of the butter to the top of each burger, followed by a slice of cheese. Broil briefly, just until the cheese melts.

Serve on buns with a small mound of the aioli on top of the cheese.
