Ingredients to Make Burgers Flavorful
Sure, you could just grab some meat and grill it up! But if you want to LOVE your burger, you need to season it first!!
Ground Beef: I used 80/20 lean ground beef. Higher fat content makes a juicier burger! Garlic Powder and Onion Powder: These seasonings add in delicious flavor that goes with just about anything. Salt and Cracked Black Pepper: To season the meat. Buns: I used sesame buns, but use your favorite hamburger buns!
What’s in the Secret Sauce?
This sauce is so delicious, you won’t want to keep it a secret after you try it! Everyone will want to use this sauce!
Mayonnaise: Smooth and tangy, it adds creaminess to the sauce. Ketchup: Sweet and tangy, the ketchup brings a vibrant tomato flavor to the mix. Sweet relish: Offering a sweet crunch, it’s made from finely chopped pickled cucumbers and onions and adds a tang to the sauce. Worcestershire sauce: With its savory and tangy notes, it adds depth and richness to the sauce. Seasoned salt: A balanced blend of herbs and spices, it enhances the overall flavor with its seasoning.

Burgers
Secret Sauce
Lettuce: I think the best lettuce for burgers is iceberg lettuce or butter lettuce. Tomatoes: Beefsteak tomatoes are the heartiest tomatoes and are perfect for a burger! Cheese: I like to use Sharp cheddar or melted American cheese. Pickles: You can use Dill or bread and butter pickles, depending on which flavor you like. Onions: Try freshly sliced red onions or even some caramelized onions Bacon: It adds in a yummy flavor! Mushrooms: I like to sautée my mushrooms before adding them to a burger. Avocado: You can use avocado slices or whip up some fresh guacamole. Egg: I know it sounds strange, but trust me on this one: there is nothing like a fried egg on a burger! Jalapeños: Add a few jalapeño slices for a spicy kick. Sauce: Want to change up the sauce? Try barbecue sauce or fry sauce!
Make sure that you prepare your toppings before cooking the burgers so they are all ready to go as soon as the burgers come off the grill Remember to shape your patties about 1” wider so that the buns will help because once they are on the grill, they will shrink. Do not overwork the meat It helps if you make an indentation in the center of the patty to prevent it from rising and plumping in the middle. Seasoning the burgers with salt and pepper right before you place them on the grill helps toughen the meat When you place the patties on the grill, let them sear well and brown(takes about 3-5 mins) before you flip them and do not press down on the burger.
