Tips:

  • Use a flavorful ground beef blend: For the best flavor, use a blend of 80% lean ground beef and 20% ground pork. This will give your burgers a juicy and flavorful interior.
  • Season the beef well: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A good blend of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper will give your burgers a delicious flavor.
  • Don't overwork the beef: When mixing the ground beef, be careful not to overwork it. This will make the burgers tough.
  • Form the burgers gently: When forming the burgers, be gentle and don't pack them too tightly. This will help them stay juicy.
  • Make a thumbprint in the center of each burger: This will help prevent the burgers from puffing up in the middle when they cook.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the burgers only once: Flipping the burgers too often will make them dry. Flip them only once, when the juices start to rise to the surface.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The burgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burger, making them more juicy and flavorful.
