I just sprinkle on McCormicks' Montreal Steak seasoning. Work it in while making the patty. Good stuff.

I know it's not a burger, but I love a good hamburger steak and fries with brown gravy and onions poured over the top. Mmmmm mmmmm!
Yes, I've added Lipton Onion Soup mix with the ground beef in the past.

Nowadays, I'm like JoeBud, I mix Schilling's Motreal Steak Seasoning with the extra lean ground beef and I grill the hamburger and everything else on natural mesquite, which is plentiful here in the Arizona desert regions. It gives meats a very good smoked flavor.

Am I the only one who does this?

I put in one egg, a couple of pinches of flour, garlic salt and pepper, a bit of soy sauce and mix it up then patty it out. The flavor is wonderful and they are not dry...I do not use a lot of flour....but juicy and tasty. I do not like fat burgers so I patty ours out med to thin thickness.

I learned from my grandma that the most important thing about getting a juicy burger (no matter how thin the patty) is to never squeeze it while cooking! I never squeeze my burgers and I get nice juicy burgers everytime without adding anything(even when using those thin already pressed patties from the store)

Hamburgers are essentially steak. So cook it as you would steak. Let the meat come to room temperature before cooking. Get your grill extremely hot - so hot that your hand held about 3-4 inches from the grate could only stay there for about 1 second before you have to yank it away.

Season your burgers with salt, freshly ground black pepper and a little garlic powder. Blot with a paper towel before putting on grill to remove excess moisture. Sear for a few minutes, then flip. Do not poke or prod. Have a heavy metal pan that is on the grill, but not directly over the hot coals. After searing, move the burgers to the pan and cover the grill. Cook to desired level of doneness. Remove from grill and wrap in foil for about 4-5 minutes so that the juices return to the center.

Enjoy!
