Notes

Recipe Tips.

We like to add 1-2 teaspoons of seasoning for every pound of ground beef. Adjust depending on your flavor preferences.
For the juiciest, most flavorful burger, use 85/15 or 90/10 ground beef. If you use 80/20 beef, use a wire rack to keep them lifted out of the excess grease.
Our favorite toppings to serve on the side include bacon, sliced tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, and red onion.
If you are shaping your own patties, you can mix the seasoning in and then shape them into patties. Create a shallow indentation in the center of the patty to keep the center from puffing up too much.

Prep ahead of time. Season and shape the patties the day before and keep them covered in the fridge until baking.

Store. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2 days. Reheat in the oven, on the stovetop, or in the microwave.

Toast the buns. Apply a thin layer of butter or olive oil to each slice and place cut side down on a hot griddle, or cut side up in a toaster oven or broil in the oven. Heat until warm and toasted, about 30-90 seconds.
