What is the best recipe for a flavorful hamburger i can make at home?

My two favorites are the Stuffed Jalapeño Cheese and the Bacon Burger!

Lightening Bacon Cheeseburger

1-1/2 lbs. regular ground beef,
1 small onion, finely diced.
2 cloves garlic, minced.
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro,
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard,
1-1/2 tablespoons Morton Hot Salt,
8 slices bacon,
4 slices Cheddar cheese,
4 sesame seed burger buns.

In a large bowl combine ground beef, onion, garlic, cilantro, Dijon mustard and Morton Hot Salt. Mix well. Place each burger between sheets of parchment paper, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour to allow the meat to set. In a fry pan, over medium-high heat, fry the bacon sprinkling each slice of bacon lightly with Morton Hot Salt on both sides, until crisp. Remove from pan and pat dry with paper towel to remove excess fat. Set aside and keep warm. Prepare all of your remaining burger garnishes and condiments and set aside. Preheat grill to medium-high. . Sprinkle burgers with Morton Hot Salt, on both sides to season. On a well seasoned grill, grill the burgers for 4 to 5 minutes per side with the grill lid open, until fully cooked. Ground meats should be cooked to well-done, a minimum 160° F internal temperature. Top grilled burgers with cooked Hot Salt seasoned bacon and Cheddar cheese, reduce grill heat to low, close lid and allow the cheese to melt for approximately 1 minute. At the same time toast the burger buns. Top each bun with bacon cheeseburgers and garnish with your favorite burger toppings including lettuce, red onion, pickles and tomato. Serve with crispy French fries seasoned with Morton Hot Salt and Cole Slaw.

To make spicy caramelized Mayo, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion in hot oil for 7 minutes or until browned (caramelized), stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium.

Place burger patties on the lightly oiled rack of the grill directly over medium heat. Grill for 18 to 23 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in centers register 160 degree F, turning burgers once halfway through grilling.

Toast rolls on grill, if desired; serve burgers on rolls. Top with some of the Spicy Caramelized Mayo, and, if desired, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and sweet pickle slices. Makes 4 burgers.

Make Ahead: Make the Spicy Caramelized Mayo up to 3 days ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Test Kitchen Tip: The internal color of a burger is not a reliable doneness indicator. A beef patty cooked to 160�F is safe, regardless of color. To measure the doneness of a patty, insert an instant-read thermometer through the side of the patty to a depth of 2 to 3 inches.

I created my own recipe by accident. I had hamburger meat in the fridge and some red wine spilled in it. I didn’t want to waste the meat so I experimented with it. I added some garlic power, red onion (minced), season salt and cut up some cheese and mixed it all together. They came out great and it was something VERY different. I know some people will put onion soup mix in their hamburger too. You can always add a dash of Tabasco for spice. I say play around and experiment and have fun doing it.
