I do as little as possible to mine. Press the meat together loosely, salt and black pepper and then grill on pit or flat top. IF I feel adventurous, I will add Lawry's garlic salt.


However, this post got me thinking (which is always dangerous).

Over 45 years ago, I was working as a mix chemist for Baxter/Travenol (now Baxter Healthcare) in Cleveland, MS. We made friends with a Cotton Farmer and his wife and would swap cook dinners each Friday. He liked to cook burgers on his grill and made the meat up just like I mentioned above. Then when he turned the patty he would splash Mateus Rose (fancy for Cleveland Mississippi in 1975) on the patties.


Those were some really good grilled burgers. I will have to pick up some rose wine (can you still buy Mateus Rose?) and do this to see if they are still as good as I remember.


The guy was a big time deer hunter also and made the best deer sausage I have ever eaten.

Watching that guy in that video I all I could think about was how he touched everything in that kitchen after handling raw meat.

Dehydrated Jalapeno powder and salt on mine. I mix three or four different kinds of seasoning salts on the kid's burgers. Montreal steak seasoning on a few for the wife.

Now that is different.

I'm not sure but you got me to where I'll look next time I'm in the liquor dept. I know I drank my share of that stuff.

For me, you’ve gotta blend ground veal into your ground beef. It makes a massive difference in texture.

I also use a heavy dose of McCormick’s Worcestershire Pub Burger seasoning to go with my other seasonings.

As for egg v. no egg, I skip the egg and use grease from the bacon that I cook as a condiment.

Salt and pepper and sometimes a little garlic powder.

I use a burger press for nice uniform patties.

About a year ago I was shopping at Calandro’s on Government and saw already made hamburger patties with blue cheese in the patties. I tried them and loved them so now I make my own.

add about 1/2 a container of crumbled blue cheese per pound of meat. I use angus 80/20. Also add a splash of Bourgeois Meat Market mustard sauce.

The first key is to start with a clean, oiled or buttered, and hot cook surface. I see so many people with a barely hot grill and very dirty grate. Then they flip their under cooked burger the first time and wonder why it sticks to the grate and falls apart.

But I prefer burgers to be very lightly handled meat just enough to barely shape into a burger. My favorite is something similar to the Webber Chicago Steak seasoning, which is basically just course salt, pepper, and dried garlic.

I like mine borderline over-seasoned. Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne; also a little chili powder if I feel like it.

Definitely why I prefer a cheap greasy Raul's burger over the fresh ground sirloin with nothing but not enough salt and very little pepper.
