Have you ever tried fresh coffee gounds?

Better than you might think...


Actually I have tried that and it can work well. It works even better in spaghetti sauce.

Get your butcher to grind up some ribeyes and make your burgers out of that.

Salt and pepper... once in a blue moom I'll chop up some onion and mix it into the meat before I cook it.

I add Garlic Powder, Earl's seasoning, Onions(finely chopped and sauteed, then cooled to put back in the meat), A little Worch, Salt, a beaten egg, A little bit of bread crumbs(don't want to much bc it will absorb all the flavor) I add in salt and then ICE COLD water(keeps burgers moist). Got to be Ice Cold. After I have press my burgers, I crack black pepper on the outside to give it a nice crust.

I will sometimes add Montreal Steak seasoning and for slight sweet kick, will sprinkle in a little Orange Peel.

even though i'm a firm beleiver in simplicity, i will use a dash of Dales, every once in a while



You should find this at any store, somewhere near the tabasco, or worcester. I highly recomend it, but don't use too much, cause its strong

Martini is probably hungover, but his Martini burger tops all.

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



Clucker, if your burgers are coming out dry you're cooking the shite out of them. Just dial the cooking time back a bit and you won't need anything but seasoning.

Just an update... took some ideas from this thread and gave it another shot. note: Mrs. Cobrew always buys the leanest meat she can find which usually makes dry and nasty burgers. I went to Calandros and picked up 1.5 lbs of ground sirloin this time.

- course ground pepper
- kosher salt
- little bit of Cavenders
- 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic
- teaspoon of Worcestershire.

The Mrs. said it was one of the best burgers she's had. She is less than half my size and she ate 2! Of course the meat makes a huge difference. Thanks for the ideas. I am bookmarking this thread cause now I want to a lot of the things mentioned.
