re: how do you season your burgers?

Thanks Dorothy, no I haven't been in there yet, so I'll check them out.
I have a brother who is a manager at a store in Denham and I even tried getting him to do it, but he says they cannot or they will get shut down because of the risk of cross contamination or something.

I usually crack one egg for each pound of burger meat. I find that it keeps the burger from drying out.

Whatever you do, salt both sides. Keeps the burger from sticking on your grill. I do salt, pepper and sometimes some chopped fresh garlic. Use 80/20 meat. I cook my burgers rare/med. rare.

Use a cheese that melts well. I like jack cheese.

For me, I like everyone else agree that simple is better for the meat. I use worcestershire sauce and onion powder. I will place a small amount of freshly cracked pepper before placing on the grill. Following the flip, I add some sea salt. I like to tinker with different types of sea salts- pink/red/truffle etc, but typically only after I flip the burger. I used to be a huge Tony's fan, but don't like it much any more.

The true quality of a burger is enhanced by what you place on it after it is done (i.e. condiments and dressing). There is nothing better than home grown tomatoes. But this is where it becomes up to the grill king to hook it up.

Good luck.

Do ya'll mix the salt/pepper into the meat before making the patties, or just salt/pepper the outside (like a steak)? I used to do the former, but now just do the latter.

egg
bread crumbs
powder ranch dressing (can substitute lipton onion soup mix)
cheese
bacon bits
onions
green onions
jalapenos
worcestershire
dales
tonys (more spice)
garlic powder
onion powder
accent (just a lil)
cayenne
paprika


dont be afraid to get your hands dirty

dont do it all the time but i like to put a packet of powder ranch dressing in the meat. pretty damn good.
