Oh man the great thing about burgers is you can put whatever you want!. I use diced onion, red and green pepper, a spoonful of Heinz 57 sauce, and I hate to say it but I use the packets that are seasoning for meatloafs!. But you could use, garlic, onion salt, salt pepper, all season,
Make sure you have slices of cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard!.
also Bush's baked beans now has grilling beans!. They are a must!. Some corn on the cob, chicken or potato salad!. Chips, pops, dip, hot dogs (for those who don't like burgers)
Man I could go on and on!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I always use hamburg in a bowl, and add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Accent (in your spice aisle)!. Then, I mix the spices and hamburg together IN THE BOWL and THEN I form them into hamburg patties!. They are SO juicy and SO delicious!. also, a good side are good old fashioned potato chips!. Any hamburger bun will do, but sesame seed is probably the best and most classic!.
Good luck with your cookoff and hope you win!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you have to use worscishire (wrong spelling) sauce like Lea& Perrins ( mix it in with the raw meat)!. that stuff has Everything in it, so I just salt, pepper, and garlic powder the burgers and douse them with the Lea & Perrins!.

Onions are a good partner with beef!. If you like spices than cayenne pepper can add some kick!. Try to avoid salty ingredients as they draw moisture from the beef and dry them out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I would suggest some worshire sauce, some garlic and pepper seasoning and a dash on Montreal Seasoning mix!. My husband goes crazy over them!! Good Luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends on what you like!. My sister makes these burgers out of ground meat, garlic powder, onion powder, a little pepper, and bbq sauce/A1 sauce or something and lets it sit for awhile, then makes the patties!. On my burgers I put in maranara sauce instead of the bbq/A1 and when theyre done I put on either swiss cheese or pepper jack if I want a kick, along with pineapple, mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, onions, tons of pickles, and mayo!. Side items!.!.fries are good lol As old as that sounds, you cant beat a classic!. If not fries, something really fresh feeling and juicy like fruit!. Strawberries usually, or if you wanna make it a little exotic throw in some lemon!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The best burgers I ever made just had salt in them and were grilled over oak wood chunks (ashed over)!. Whatever you decide to put in them, lightly mix the ground beef with the seasonings!. Use a fork or your hands to mix!. And if you want to win, use ground beef that is at least 80% fat (80/20)!. When you shape the patties don't make a tight ball and then flatten it!. Scoop up the meat, round it up just enough to shape it, and then shape it into a patty or use a burger press if you have one!. If you don't want the burgers to puff up in the middle, lightly press the back of a tablespoon into the center of the burger to make an indentation!. Then when you grill the burgers don't smash them!! Let them cook halfway on one side, turn and finish cooking the other side!. When you bite into one of these, juice just might squirt you in the eye! So have plenty of napkins on stand by!Www@FoodAQ@Com
