I make the patties myself. It's cheaper plus easier to portion control. Not to mention I'm usually seasoning the beef. The trick to avoiding shrinkage is to make a little well in the middle of the pattiy before you cook it. Also my little brother likes when I put the cheese slices inside the patty before I cook it.

Ooh, I'll try that. Is it a deep well or just a dip?

I like making my own patties, too. I've started putting garlic and just enough Worchestershire sauce to taste and they come out purdy darn good. How do you season yours?

This is pretty close.

Usually burgers are spontaneous so I end up seasoning them by my kitchen inventory or whatever whim that strikes me. Usually every patty gets a different seasoning for each family member.

My grandfather likes sauteed onions and jalapenos (mixed in the patty so they don't slide out of the burger) and a seasoning mix of garlic salt, paprika, black pepper, ground cayenne, and a teeny bit of brown sugar.

If I'm making sweet potato fries my mom wants Soy Vay Island Teriyaki sauce filling in her patty.

My little sister likes chicken bouillon in hers? IDEK. I used to use beef bouillon because she always complained her burgers weren't "meaty tasting" enough but once we were out and she liked the substitution better.

My brother likes some premix hamburger seasoning I keep on hand for diced potatoes (and the aforementioned cheese filling). Some I bought, some I made. His favorite is a mixture of chipotle, curry, cumin, cayenne, dried garlic, black pepper and salt.

I personally stand by the classic garlic, salt, and freshly ground black peppercorns. With the BBQ sauce, avocado, sauteed onions, and turkey bacon I already have enough flavors to satisfy. :)

Wow, do you make individually seasoned patties for every member of your family? I am thoroughly impressed, my dear. I throw it all in a bowl or on a board and mix it til the cows come home. Or my arms get tired, whichever comes first. And all you do is plop it into the well, right?

No the well is just to minimize shrinkage. When I say filling I mean I make two thin patties, sandwich the cheese between them and crimp the edges. For a stuffed patty I'm more careful when making the well tho.

It's not as much work as it seems? I just hand mush little balls of ground beef up with the spices on my cutting board. There's only ever five of us at the most, if there were more I definitely wouldn't take special requests. :)

I have this talent for making things way more complicated than they have to be. xP
