Wisconsin butter burgers range from event-worthy to everyday. The butter burger that gets food writers excited and keeps cardiologists up at night is the house specialty at Solly’s in Milwaukee, where a four-ounce sirloin patty comes topped with stewed onions and a generous layer (a tablespoon or two) of soft, spreadable Badger State gold. This is that burger.

For this upgrade on our classic smash burger, Kenji tweaked the recipe to produce twice the amount of crisp, browned crust. By cooking two 2-ounce patties instead of one 4-ounce patty, we get double the amount of crust, while a slice of cheese in between the patties keeps things moist.

An Oklahoma classic, these burgers are made with a similar method to that of a classic North Jersey-style slider, but with way more onions, which help the thin patties of beef cook up extra juicy and flavorful.

This Whopper-style recipe improves the flame-grilled classic with better ingredients, better layering, and a better patty cooking technique: griddling thin patties through mostly from one side gives maximum crust development and browning while still leaving it nice and juicy.
