Instructions
- Heat a large cast iron frying pan.

- Form the ground beef into ¼ inch thick patties that are approximately the size of your hand.
- Heat a large cast iron frying pan and place the formed patties into the heated pan. Do Not Overcrowd the pan. Approximately 3 patties per cooking.
- Allow the patties to get a beautiful char on one side; flip and continue cooking on the other side; about 2 minutes per side to remain pink on the inside, or to your desired doneness.

- Place two or three pats of butter on one side of the bread and place back in the cast iron pan and let one side of the bread get a nice golden, then place some more pats of butter on the top side of the patty and flip using a spatula and let the other side get golden.
- Remove from the pan and serve with your favorite fun sides.
