For best results, use high-quality ground beef with a good fat content (80/20 blend is recommended) to ensure juicy and flavorful burgers. Gently mix the ingredients to avoid overworking the meat, which can result in tough burgers. Don't press down on the patties while grilling, as this will squeeze out the juices and result in dry burgers. Experiment with different types of cheese, toppings, and sauces to customize your burgers to your liking. For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the ground beef mixture.
