No collection of recipes with ground beef would be complete without a hamburger recipe, and this is one of my best. It starts with the best-quality beef - grass-fed beef. And because grass-fed ground beef is generally leaner than other types of ground beef, I've added a touch of cream to this recipe. A brush of melted butter on the outside of the burgers adds incredible flavor and crispiness to this burger recipe.
