Answers:
your general mix of spices will work, dont go overboard though

try dicing up onions and put that in aluminum foil with a few strips of bacon and put it on the grill, the onions will saute in the bacon grease, it turns out really well, you can even use the leftover sauce to dip fries inWww@FoodAQ@Com

Simple just add couple tablespoons of chop garlic,chop fresh onion,a little season salt and a little black pepper mix and cook!.!.dont handle the meat a lot cause it makes the burgers tought
another simple way to make a good burger is to mix a packet of lipton onion soup dry mx and a tablespoon of water into your meat and mix!.!.this gives it a wonderful flavor and taste like you did more than just add a packet of soup mix to the hamburgerWww@FoodAQ@Com
