There's basically two tips here. The first is to throw money at the problem, nice beef, nice bun, etc, etc and the second is to actually season your burger.
Cooking a burger isn't rocket science. All the typical tips and tricks that you'd apply to most other beef dishes apply to it. But slaving over a fucking burger kinda defeats the point. It's a dish that's very tolerant of loose cooking procedure and you'd be a fool to not take advantage of that.
If your burgers aren't coming out how you want try cooking them slower or making them much thinner.

Sure but that doesn't mean that it's not worth talking about complete optimization. If you know the absolute best technique then you can decide which parts are worth the extra time for you. Or sometimes you feel like a burger and you have a lot of time, so it's worth knowing the optimal way to do it all. I think of it more like... a bad burger is still good, but that doesn't mean it can't be better.
- richiebful1 4y agoI grew up eating meatloaf style burgers with a bunch of stuff - onions, mustard and seasoning - stirred through the ground beef. Learning to just season the outside was a game changer. I never really cared for homemade burgers before then. But that tip makes the burgers less effort not more.
