Just got my beef custom burger blend with 25% of each of the following:
What's the best way to prepare the burgers for grilling? I've just made patties from the beef but it didn't turn out great. Was missing something but I don't know what.
Should I add bread crumbs? Eggs? Something else?
Thanks!

Bread crumbs and eggs don't belong in a hamburger; maybe meatloaf.
What seemed to be the problem with yours? Too dry, not enough flavor or something else?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada -
Make a patty, don't overwork the meat. Add salt and pepper. Put it on the grill.

The meat seemed dry and didn't hold together well I think. It was last year so I don't recall exactly. Will try again today with just the beef to get a baseline and go from there. Thanks!Two Large Eggs, 6 gal Cajun Fryer, and a MiniMax in Charlotte, NC - My New Table

Grass fed beef and Holy Cow from meat church!

Salt and Pepper, and I like worcestershire sauce. I put the sauce on when the burger is put on the grill, a good amount because I only put it on one side.
Works great for me.Toronto, Canada LBGE -

I made the burgers a few times to varying degrees of doneness and all were a bit on the dry side. As the fat percentage was mentioned several times, I went and calculated the fat content based on the burger builder page at Flannery's where I purchased them. Turns out I only have 9% fat in the burger!

Time to make a fattier burger. Gonna add Prime Beef Rib Cap Fat Blend, Beef Suet Blend, or Wagyu Fat Blend to my next build.

I like your spirit but just throwing money at a burger does not mean it will turn out. Here is the blend I have been using for years and it turns out fantastic every time: 1lb sirloin for texture, 1lb brisket for flavor, and the meat trimmed from 1 ox tail. I promise, this will be the best burger you have ever tasted. Read some of my older posts on burgers.

I've been following the Umami way and have gotten more compliments on my burgers than I can ever recall. Of course I didn't really get any before, so that's not saying too much.
2 lbs Ground Beef
2 TBS Fish Sauce
2 Fresh minced garlic cloves
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp fresh ground Black Pepper
Mix into the meat, let it sit. For more intense flavor I've been letting mine sit overnight, but at least 30 min-hour. Form into patties with as little contact as possible.
--Because I'm like ice, buddy. When I don't like you, you've got problems.

Eggs do belong in hamburger. But the must be fried and placed on top of the cooked patties.
