Boars burgers!

Nice work, Boar,

I like to think I'm pretty good at cooking/grilling - but Burgers are my nemesis - at least really good ones. I can make OK ones, but it seems that even when they're done a perfect medium rare (at least for my taste) that they're still just a little too dry and/or flavorless.  I use 80/20 ground chuck and it still just doesn't quite work out how I want it.  I've tried everything from plain meat to different seasonings mixed in, I just cant get a patty anywhere close to the bar/grill down the street. (I got a good burger joint in my neighborhood and in talking to a few people in-the-know - it's just a plain ground chuck patty - maybe a little salt during cooking)

The only exception to this is my homemade mix of ground bacon and venison (50/50) with jalepenos. I do knock that out of the park.  But sometimes you just want a good all-beef patty I can't seem to hit the mark.

Try brushing Worcestershire on them. The bar down the street does this and they are amazing.

Thunder - little trick I learned a few years back.  Add 1/2 cup (or less) of mayo to two pounds of 80/20.  The burgers won't taste like mayo, but they will be very juicy with a fatty/rich flavor.   

Say I haven't tried that one yet. My daughter of all people could eat burgers every night of the week if she could. She's pretty picky about her burgers ,they have to be juicy . Any kind of mix works, hienz 57, A1, and some other marinades.  It seams on the weber  if I turn em 180 on each side not quite 2 minutes they turn out pretty juicy. .

nuthin against adding stuff to burger like mentioed, but once yu do, the it seems u need an binder or the meat isnt pliable and falls aprt on grill. orto.combate this.an egg or bread crums are added. then its meat loaf. im serious about my burgers, and its just monitori g the juice flow,, i dimple them too. 

oh and my brother adds peanutbutter for the same mayo effect. they are good.

Boar - I usually do my burgers basic.  Maybe a splash of Worcestershire and some salt and pepper.  I found the mayo tip in an add for Hellman's mayo.  It doesn't add much flavor, but man are they juicy.

Reb - Google "best ever onion burgers".  It is a recipe from Hellman's.  They are dang good, but I prefer my burger more "naked".  I want toppings - various cheeses, pickles, onions, fresh tomatoes, bacon and peanut butter.

I like the mayo idea!!  I use only 80/20 for burgers myself.  The beer can burger is my favorite. I will add that there are a lot of times that I am happy with just a plain burger with cheese on a bun.   good luck.

this is from the old days when everything was stretched. I still like adding an egg, oatmeal and onions to burger, then grilling it. top with pepper jack cheese!!!!!!!!!

Ya Smurf,  I can remember back in the day that I never had a burger my mom made that didn't have breadcrumbs and onions in it.  I loved them.  Probably threw an egg or two in there also.  We never went hungry and were dirt poor.  good luck.
