Preparation

Step 1
Combine the ground meats by hand in a large bowl, taking care not to overwork them. Blend the herbs and the chili with the butter in a food processor until thoroughly mixed. Season with salt and pepper. On a piece of plastic wrap shape the butter into a fat sausage shape and freeze until hard, about 30 minutes.
Step 2
Gently shape the meat into 10 patties and season the tops and bottoms with salt and pepper. Slice the herb butter into ½-inch slices and insert one slice into the center of each beef patty. Make sure the butter is well covered by the meat.
Step 3
Grill or broil until desired doneness. Serve on toasted buns with desired accompaniments.
