For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the mixture. To prevent the patties from puffing up while grilling, make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb. Experiment with different types of buns such as brioche, pretzel, or sesame seed for a unique twist. Don't forget your favorite toppings! Lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, bacon, pickles, and various sauces can elevate your burger to new heights.
