How to Make a Burger Amazing with Homemade Burger Sauce
Our favorite way to make hamburgers is to season the ground beef well with seasoned salt (or use any seasonings you like for burgers), mix the meat well then form it into patties. Make the patties larger than you want them to end up because they will shrink while cooking. Then grill or pan fry the burgers until cooked through.
