Halloween Hamburgers

Recipe

1 lb 85/15 ground beef (chuck and brisket)
2 oz frozen unsalted butter
1 tbsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
1.5 tbsp  salt
1 tbsp fresh cracked black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 slice swiss cheese (each)

Brioche Buns

1. Pre-heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat on half and low on the other half.
2. In a medium size mixing bowl, place the ground beef. Using a box grater, grate the frozen butter and add to the beef. Try to distribute the butter evenly while mixing together.
3. Form the beef mixture into patties, about 4 inches wide and one inch thick so when the beef is fully cooked it will shrink to the size of the bun. Lay the patties on a sheet tray or plate and chill for at least ten minutes. Season all sides of the patties generously. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the mayo and salt together. Set aside.
4. Oil the meat well on both sides and place onto the medium heat side of the grill. Cook to get nice grill marks for about two minutes, then rotate the patties 90 degrees to cross hatch and cook again for about two minutes..
5. Flip the beef patties and repeat the same cooking steps for the second side (about 4 minutes total). Move the patties to the low heat side of the grill once the meat is about medium rare inside (Note: if you like your meat cooked through more then cover the grill for a few minutes before you add your cheese).
6. Lightly butter the brioche buns and add to the low heated grill side  and close the lid on the grill for 1-2 minutes, checking the buns so that they do not burn.
7. Remove brioche buns and place the buns on the cutting board with the inside sides faced up. Smear about one tablespoon full of salted mayo over the grilled sides of the buns. 
8. Next, place the finished cheese burger onto the bun 
9. Place the decorative items as shown in the picture and server!
