Answer 4

Onion powder pinch of garlic pepper to taste Saute with a Tbs of steak sauce or Worcestershire in pan or add to mixture and grill ,salt if needed

Answer 5

You need an egg & some bread-crumbs to bind the meat together.

I like chopped onion mixed into the burger meat.

Garlic salt or powder is good too.

Use about 1/4 lb for each pattie.

Grill or cook in pan, until juices get past pink.

Flip & cook both sides, add a slice of processed cheese.

Answer 6

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 in

Here are a bunch of really good recipes:
