Ingredients to Make Burgers Flavorful

Sure, you could just grab some meat and grill it up! But if you want to LOVE your burger, you need to season it first!!

• Ground Beef: I used 80/20 lean ground beef. Higher fat content makes a juicier burger!
• Garlic Powder and Onion Powder: These seasonings add in delicious flavor that goes with just about anything.
• Salt and Cracked Black Pepper: To season the meat.
• Buns: I used sesame buns, but use your favorite hamburger buns!

What’s in the Secret Sauce?

This sauce is so delicious, you won’t want to keep it a secret after you try it! Everyone will want to use this sauce!

• Mayonnaise: Smooth and tangy, it adds creaminess to the sauce.
• Ketchup: Sweet and tangy, the ketchup brings a vibrant tomato flavor to the mix.
• Sweet relish: Offering a sweet crunch, it’s made from finely chopped pickled cucumbers and onions and adds a tang to the sauce.
• Worcestershire sauce: With its savory and tangy notes, it adds depth and richness to the sauce.
• Seasoned salt: A balanced blend of herbs and spices, it enhances the overall flavor with its seasoning.

How to Make the Best Burger Patty

This is definitely a great go-to recipe when you are in charge of hosting the next family BBQ. It’s easy to throw together, especially if you ever need to make plenty to feed everyone! 

Burgers

1. Prepare the Grill: Heat up your grill to medium-high heat while you prepare the patties.
2. Combine: Add the ground beef and seasonings to a large bowl and mix to combine.
3. Shape Patties: Shape the patties to be about 1-inch thick, making an indention in the center of each patty. This creates a flat burger and prevents the middle from mounding as it cooks.
4. Cook: Place the burgers on the grill. Allow this side of the patty to cook for about 4-6 minutes, but make sure it doesn’t burn. Flip them over and cook to the desired doneness.

Secret Sauce

1. Combine: Add all of the sauce ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Taste and adjust ingredients to your liking.
2. Toppings: Assemble the burgers and serve with the special sauce and all of your favorite hamburger toppings!

Sides for Your Burger

As far as sides go, there are a variety of things that pair well with a burger. You can choose fries, chips, salad, green or potato, a fruit salad, fresh veggies, and whatever else you love having at your BBQs!
