Serve burgers immediately after cooking for the best juiciness and flavor.
If storing leftovers, keep patties separate from buns and toppings to maintain texture.
Refrigerate cooked patties in an airtight container and consume within 2 days.
Variations:
Experiment with different seasonings like smoked paprika or garlic powder for subtle flavor changes.
Try different fats mixed into the ground beef such as bacon fat or suet for richer patties.
