Tips:

Use high-quality ground beef. The better the beef, the better the burger. Look for ground chuck or sirloin that is at least 80% lean.
Don't overwork the meat. When you mix the ingredients together, do so gently. Overworking the meat will make it tough.
Season the meat liberally. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other seasonings, such as smoked paprika, chili powder, or cumin.
Form the patties gently. Don't press down on the meat too hard, or you'll squeeze out the juices. Just gently shape the meat into patties that are about ¾ inch thick.
Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent the burgers from drying out. Cook the burgers for about 4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
Let the burgers rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers, making them more tender and juicy.
Serve the burgers on your favorite bun. You can also add toppings such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
