What Makes Culver's Burgers So Good?

This fast food chain is known for its signature butter burgers, delicious custard, and crinkle-cut fries. Some people think they put butter in the meat to make the burger taste good. While that would make a hamburger patty taste great, that isn’t quite how they make their burger recipe.

DIRECTIONS

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and swirl it around.

Place hamburger buns in the melted butter, toast them for a minute, and remove them from the skillet.

Divide the beef into four equal portions and form 4 patties. Place the patties in the skillet.

Use a spatula to press down on the patties. Then, take a sizeable aluminum-wrapped soup and press down each meat patty in the skillet. (see the how-to video below)

Cook the patties for 2 minutes.

Flip them over and do the same pressing for the other side.

Season the patties with salt and pepper. For cheeseburgers, add a slice of cheese to each patty.

Cook the patties for 1 minute. Remove the butterburger patties from the skillet and place them on the bottom bun.

Add desired burger toppings. Great options include crisp lettuce, a slice of ripe tomato, pickles, sweet red onion, bacon, ketchup, mustard, and mayo. Make it a deluxe with all of them.

Place the top bun on top. Enjoy!
