In a bowl mix the cottage cheese, egg, seasonings and green onion. Add the 3 tablespoons melted butter. Beat to mix. Add the ground beef and mix well. Make into 4 patties. Melt the 5 tablespoons butter in a hot frying pan. Cook the "burgers" to your liking, turning only once. Cut 4 hamburger buns in half. Dip cut sides into pan drippigs and place under broiler until lightly toasted. Place meat between bun halves and garnish with pickle fans. These have a good beefy flavor enhanced by the goodness of butter. When you want flavor .. use butter.
