For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze to the finished burgers. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the burgers in a skillet on the stovetop. Consider using a high-quality ground beef with a good fat content for the juiciest burgers. Adjust the amount of basil and garlic to your liking.
