Frequently asked questions (FAQ’s)
I prefer to use ground chuck when I am making burgers. I've found that it sticks together well and turns out nice and juicy every time.
Lipton Soup is made from a mix of dehydrated onions, salt, sugar, cornstarch, vegetable bouillon (hydrolyzed soy and corn protein, autolyzed yeast extract, maltodextrin), spices, dehydrated garlic, and disodium inosinate & guanylate.
No, you don't have to use mayonnaise. You could substitute with an equal amount of plain Greek yogurt if you would like.
Deb’s tips for the best burger
Do not over-mix the meat when adding the seasonings. Mix until combined so you don't end up with tough burgers.
Here are my favorite easy tips to make this homemade beef burger recipe even better!
- Use your thumb to press down into the center of your beef patties before cooking. This will help them to cook evenly and not puff up in the middle.
- For evenly sized burger patties you can use a burger patty press. Or, you can weigh out the meat into even-sized balls.

I have to say I've never even thought of putting mayonnaise IN the burger instead of on the bun. Has to help keep them from being dry. My husband only eats mayo if he doesn't know it. Definitely going to try this recipe.
