Eggcelsior

80/20 beef, loosely pack into a ball, hit with salt and pepper, then press onto a griddle. Top with cheese plus toppings of choice and go to town.

I agree with @Eggcelsior .  I like burgers on a griddle or grill....but Keep it simple.  If you start adding too many spices you basically have a meatloaf in a burger form.  If you want to jazz up the burger, do it with the toppings.  I made brisket burgers the other night and topped it with some smoked cheddar and grilled onions.  Turned out amazing.

I like to mix in some Ranch dressing powder. Or sometimes just Meatchurch's Holy Cow.

been doing smash burgers lately, these are balsamic glazed onions, sharp cheddar, and duck eggs cooked in an onion ring. found the balsamic glaze sold in a squeeze bottle, it goes on everything now bulkie rolls

Occasionally I will throw in a package of dry ranch mix with some Worechestershire sauce.  Everyone that has had them has said they like them.

I ordered a cast iron griddle and gonna try making smash burgers tonight. 

Salt, pepper, and cheese.

Every since I tried my first smash burger (about three months ago) I cannot bring myself to try any other burger.  They are that good.  From a recipe standpoint I always garnish my burger with buffalo wing sauce instead of catch-up, and occasionally I like to add a thin layer of diced green chiles between the meat and the cheese.

What is this smash burger you speak of?

Griddled smash burgers hit with salt only.  Then toppings of your choice.  Can't beat them.

Smashers are one of my all time favs.  I've been making them twice a week for almost a year now.

A few weeks back I switched it up, and smoked, then seared on the egg.  It was a nice change - but smashburgers still rule. 

A little burger variety is a positive.

This.  Add bacon and avocado spread.

@fishlessman that is off the charts! Can you tell me more about this glaze?

Smash burgers are the only way I roll anymore.  This is an old blog post, but should give you some ideas - nowadays I use 3 oz of beef per patty, grate my onions, and throw a few Wickles on there to cut through the umami with some tang.

Smash burger is a definite fav!!!

Phatchris

 I usually form as loosely as possible then hit with kosher salt, ground pepper, and worcestshire .... Or if I'm freely something funky, fish sauce, garlic, sugar and pepper.

I grind up prime and wagyu brisket trimmings into 4 oz patties. Loosely pack into a jar top for equal size then freeze on a tray. After frozen I vac seal them and cook like bubba burgers. Only they taste incredible instead on bubba burgers.

I add spog just before they hit the grill. NEVER presalt a burger. Causes the meat to fuse together and the burger to be tough and chewy.

1 pound 85/15 ground bision cooked at 350 until 140. With some grilled onions and some pepper jack. I like it simple.

Just did beer can burgers yesterday for the first time, gonna focus on those for awhile. 

northGAcock

I grill my burgers still, but love a smash also. I top mine with some fire roasted Green Chili (hatch Valley). It will take your burger to a new level. 

CheeseheadinAZ

I like to keep it simple.  Start with 75-80% lean ground beef.  Lightly pack to form.  Thumb indent in center.  Season with salt and pepper or Montreal steak seasoning.  Cook hot 450-550.  2 Slices of fav cheese.  Pull at 145.  No one ever complains

My favorite is the Umami burger from the White on Rice Couple.  That fish sauce adds something wonderful.  http://whiteonricecouple.com/recipes/best-umami-hamburger-recipe/

I like stuffed burgers. Any combo of cheese and bacon is great!
