Making burgers used to be a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants routine. But not anymore! I've purposely developed this recipe for consistent results. And my family and friends are thankful for it!

There's nothing fancy about these ingredients. You probably have what's needed in your kitchen right now. The success starts with using fresh ground chuck, an 80 percent lean/20 percent fat combination, and adding the right amounts of seasoning.

And speaking of seasoning, this House Seasoning Blend adds the perfect flavor to any burger. But it's not just for burgers. Use this blend wherever you sprinkle salt and pepper. One and a half teaspoons of the combination of salt, garlic, and cayenne pepper flavor a pound of ground meat superbly.

But there's one more important course of action needed, and it applies to anytime you're handling ground meat. When mixing and making the burgers, you want to lightly blend in the seasonings, egg, and bread crumbs. Here is where I use the end of my fingers to gently toss the meat and ingredients together, taking my time not to treat the hamburger harshly. I know this sounds picky, but it is absolutely necessary for a tender, juicy burger.

Not only is this method suitable for burgers, but also for meatballs, meatloaf, and hamburger steak. The results are flavor-packed, soft, and juicy bites of meat.

Also, when you are forming the patties, for heaven's sake, don't smash the meat together. This over-processing makes it dry out. Think about getting a free-form burger. They may even fall apart when turning and removing them from the pan. That's ok!

As you can see, these aren't the prettiest patties in the patch! They are not participating in a beauty contest. And after one bite of this juicy hamburger, no one will care.

Also, the meat will have a dark color resulting from the melted butter and Worcestershire sauce it cooks in. Yes, that's the best secret to the classic sizzle burger!

French's Worcestershire Sauce used to have a recipe on their bottle label for Sizzle Burgers, which is where I first learned how to make this quick, yummy meal for my family. All it called for was some melted butter in a pan and splashes of Worcestershire sauce to cook hamburger patties in. Super simple and so delicious!

But our recipe today takes it a few steps further.
