Big Poppa’s must-have for any burger

A toasted bun on a burger can make all the difference. Big Poppa swears by it (as seen in Big Poppa’s Upside Down Tabasco Butter Burger recipe).

You’ll never eat burgers without a toasted bun again.

Ingredients

  • 4 Brioche hamburger buns (or any bread of your choosing, hotdog buns work too)
  • 1.5 sticks of salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Tabasco Original Red

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to 350F
  2. Make Tabasco Butter: Melt butter in a microwave and add Tabasco Original Red
  3. Place both parts of bun (top and bottom) on a grill, soft side down (make sure they do not burn)
  4. Check for grill marks/toast to preference
  5. Flip buns over, baste with Tabasco Butter on toasted side
  6. Remove buns from grill and set aside
  7. Use for burgers, grilled cheese, hot dogs, sandwiches, or just regular toast. This hack works for any type of bread
