When You Cook Burgers, Add One Packet Of This To Your Mixture (It's Pure Perfection) - Tasting Table

"Burgers are meant to be an easy meal, requiring little more than shaping ground beef into patties and cooking them to juicy perfection. While a basic burger always hits the spot, sometimes plain ground beef patties can become lackluster and boring. However, you may have a hard time finding inspiration to jazz up your hamburgers that doesn't require a lot of extra effort."

"There isn't much more to the process than just sprinkling the mix all over your ground beef and gently mixing it together by hand before shaping the beef mixture into patties. The packaging for your soup mix may have directions on how to incorporate the seasoning mix into burgers, but we recommend simply adding the packet of onion soup mix directly to the ground beef and treating it more as a seasoning blend for the beef instead."

"Soup packets contain a decent amount of salt, so be sure to take that into account when you're adding an onion soup packet - like this Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Recipe Soup & Dip Mix - to your ground beef. If you're concerned that the burgers are already seasoned enough before adding more salt, pinch off a small chunk of the beef mixture and fry it in a separate pan for a taste test. This will preview how the burgers will taste."

Adding a packet of onion soup and dip mix to ground beef significantly enhances burger flavor with minimal effort. Sprinkle the mix over the beef and gently mix by hand before shaping patties. Add a few twists of freshly cracked black pepper to complement the rich onion notes. Keep salt levels in mind because soup mixes contain a decent amount of salt. Pinch off a small chunk and fry it for a taste test to preview seasoning. Adjust salt or other seasonings as needed before forming final patties. The approach suits French onion–style burgers.
