Please help...my burgers are tasteless
Not the buns or condiments...but the beef itself. It is quality beef, fresh ground, 20% fat. I use a charcoal grill or sometimes pan fry in a cast iron pan on high heat. Do you folks out there ...

20%fat is a pretty fatty burger. Fat makes it taste good, but I don't want my burger to kill me. We use 93% lean beef
Since elk burger has no fat in it we have a little beef fat mixed in so that it will cook and form burgers. Last batch had about 7% beef fat mixed in, and after some fat sticks to the grinder its 94-95% lean.
I think the lower fat burgers, beef or elk, cook and taste better. Fat is good, but like salt too much happens very quickly.
