re: How do you season your homemade hamburger patty?

I form the patties and dust with seasoning the night before. It comes out great. Really not sure what I'm doing, but I wouldn't say it has a sausage like texture at all. Maybe it's because I'm not mixing the salt in.

The foodie consensus seems to be season right before cooking. But I pretty much dry brine any meat that I'm cooking and everything comes out juicy and flavorful.
