I just had the best burger I've ever made!

I just got my Joule delivered yesterday. I made a burger that was so good for dinner that I couldn't wait to make it again for lunch today.

I had seen a YouTube video where the test kitchen made a "Wisconsin Butter Burger." It looked so good I wanted to try it as well as trying a burger in the sous vide.

I got myself about a tbsp of salted butter on a small plate and let it warm to room temp while doing the other work.

I made a 1 inch patty and placed some thyme in the bag before sealing it up then ran it for 30 minutes at 133F. While it was cooking, I grabbed a bun and toasted and sliced some white cheddar.

I placed the cheddar slices on the bottom of the bun and slathered the room temp butter on the top part of the bun. When it was done in the sous vide, I patted it dry, seasoned it with some mesquite seasoning, then seared it on a cast iron skillet, rolling it around the edge to get the sides. I made one rotation around and then flipped it to finish it off. Set it on the cheese then set the top bun on top of that and let it rest for a minute while the butter melted into the rest of the burger.
