re: How do you season your homemade hamburger patty?

That recipe calls for 85% beef--problem #1. 80% ground chuck and it only needs salt and pepper when on the heat.

Her recipe is meatloaf. Love that flavor, but it's not a burger. When I have a burger, I want to taste a burger.

I hear you. I also use 80/20 when i make it. It tastes absolutely nothing like meat loaf fwiw. I make a lot of meat loaf

I've had burgers people make with egg and bread crumbs. This technique doesn't really come out the same way. Ends up being a really juicy burger with plenty of "burger" taste.
