Although, as indicated above, the best hamburgers are those that are handled lightly, you may be among those who prefer a “firmer” hamburger. If you are, there are numerous interesting seasonings that may be added and mixed into the hamburger. You can, for example, make a “Rumanian hamburger” by mixing chopped garlic and salt to taste into the meat before grilling. Or, a “chili hamburger” can be made by adding powdered chili or powdered cumin and salt to taste.
