When we're feeling bad we add bacon &amp; melted cheddar cheese. Which he adds at the very end of the grilling. </p> <p>Yum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902827 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 07:48:10 +0000 Ash 902827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: yeah baby!!</p> <p>I season my meat with s&amp;p, add an egg, Worcestershire sauce and if I'm feeling extra saucy, I split the burger in half and add some cut up cooked bacon and shredded cheese... then put the top on and grill! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902826 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 07:45:56 +0000 mrsjazz 902826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: I love the chopped bacon idea, yummy! I'm making burgers for the 4th so I'm going to try this. I usually saute chopped onion and garlic and add that to the ground beef, I find that the sauteed onions make it even juicier than raw. I also add Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, a little cayenne, and chili powder and egg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902818 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 07:37:50 +0000 MamaMoose 902818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put worchestire, garlic salt, and oregano in mine. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902817 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 07:36:32 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 902817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Adobo seasoning and add a bit of bbq sauce. Before I place them in the pan I add fresh cracked pepper and sea salt on bith sides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902813 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 07:33:59 +0000 mamimami 902813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I'm with you! Or we could drive to @FutureMrsMcK 's house.</p> <p>Just kidding, thanks to all for your tips which have really covered everything from minimum to max effort and everything in between. And @looch I didn't ever think about that but now if my burgers continue to suck I can blame it on forces outside my control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902695 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 06:08:53 +0000 looch 902695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found the meat is the critical factor, it can't be ground too finely. I couldn't make a good burger while living abroad because the ground beef is ground too fine and I didn't have a kitchenaid to grind my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902588 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 00:02:51 +0000 Smurfette 902588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drive to restaurant, find parking spot, get seated, order a beer, then a burger and fries. Cause I am a big believer the side makes the meal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902560 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 23:19:58 +0000 SugarplumsMom 902560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: That sounds ammmmazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902556 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 23:14:12 +0000 lovehoneybee 902556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Haha you're so sweet! Nah, I just like food, and like feeding people. And jalapeno and cheese in the meat?? I'm so trying that next time!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902555 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 23:10:55 +0000 aprk 902555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Season your meat, don't overpack the patties and when you cook them, don't squish them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902549 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 23:05:28 +0000 yoursilverlining 902549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Season your meat well - salt and pepper at least. I always get compliments on my burgers and the secret is I always add cream, worcestershire and minced red onion to the raw meat - just a couple of tablespoons of each. Keeps the meat really super juicy and the onion gives it great flavor. </p> <p>Also, don't overcook them! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902544 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 23:01:54 +0000 HLK208 902544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: oh my gosh. Have you taken culinary classes before? All of your meals sound ah-mazing!!</p> <p>I usually add garlic, 1 egg, garlic bread crumbs and A1 for a zestier burger. Another good one is jalapeño, bacon, cheddar in the food processor and combine with the ground beef. There are a bunch of fun recipes online that I've tried but so far, those are the winners. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902538 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 22:55:08 +0000 lovehoneybee 902538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made some great ones the other night--I buzzed around 6 slices of bacon in the food processor until it was ground, then added the ground beef, some minced garlic, Steak and Chop seasoning and S&amp;P and buzzed it a few more times. I dressed the burger with White cheddar cheese (sliced from a block, not the plastic-wrapped kind, tomato, sauteed mushrooms, and garlic aioli on homemade buns.</p> <p>ETA: Before you put them in the pan/on the grill make a dimple in the center of the patty, don't press down and only flip them once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-a-great-burger#post-902533 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 22:48:25 +0000 mamimami 902533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you make your burgers? I need some serious help. I just form ground beef into parties and voila, mediocre burgers. What should I be adding to or doing to the meat? </p>
