Basic Burger Made Better
Everybody has their one interpretation of the perfect, juicy, delicious burger of their dreams. Some have two patties, some have bacon, some have no meat, and some have fried eggs on them. Whichever camp you reside in, I offer you a great basic staple recipe for you kitchen curious, at-home chefs to get a feel for being a grillmaster in your near future.
People are often intimidated by raw meat and having to do something to it like shaping, brining, or trussing for an oven roast. But our Basic Burger Made Better recipe is a platform for you to get your bearings on dealing with raw meat. You take quality ground beef, fresh white or yellow onion, and – trust me on this one – a dash of heavy cream to make the juiciest patty to stake all your incredible, favorite toppings on! Go ahead and get the grill started, you won’t want to wait on this one!

Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1½ lb. ground beef
- Part of a small onion
- 2 TBSP heavy cream
- 2 TBSP s.a.l.t. sisters Everyday Seasoning Salt, plus extra for sprinkling
- Olive oil
Directions:
- Spread the ground beef out on a cutting board. Grate about 2 TBSP of onion directly over the meat, allowing the onion juices to seep into the beef. Pour the heavy cream over the meat. Season with 2 tablespoons of Everyday Seasoning Salt. Mix the ingredients thoroughly, taking care not to over-mix to avoid tough burgers.
- Divide the beef mixture equally and form it into 4 patties. Drizzle each patty with a little olive oil and sprinkle a bit more Everyday Seasoning Salt on each side.
- Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3–5 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired doneness.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns or in lettuce wraps. Add your favorite condiments like lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, mustard, or special burger sauces.
