Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Step 2: In a medium-sized bowl, combine ground beef with your desired amount of salt and pepper. Optionally, add onion powder and/or garlic powder.
Step 3: Press a small amount of beef (about 1 tbsp) into the bottom of a non-stick, 12-slot muffin pan so the bottom is fully covered.
Step 4: Add a pat of butter to the top of each piece of beef.
Step 5: Again add beef to the top. Press to flatten.
Step 6: Add a small piece of cheese to the beef.
Step 7: Add a final layer of beef. (It's okay if you don't have quite enough beef left to fully cover the top of the cheese.) Press to flatten.
Step 8: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Step 9: When the baking is complete, turn OFF the oven and crack the oven door for a few minutes to release the heat (if using a silicone muffin pan, wait 10 minutes).
Step 10: Please be VERY CAREFUL before removing your muffin pan from the oven because the fat from the beef and butter will be very hot.
Step 11: Using a fork, remove each Butter Burger from the pan and place on a plate.
Step 12: There will be a delicious beef fat/butter combo remaining in the muffin pan. Save this and use it to drizzle on your Butter Burgers, cook veggies, etc.
