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 ...

If you buy from a market that has a loose ground burger, preferably with a little pork in it, and it is 80/20 you're 75% of the way there.
Never pack a patty, shape it. Don't make it too thin. Make a small indention with your thumb in the center. Flip it once and don't overcook. It must be a little loose and be packed to just hold together.
As far as flavor goes,good burger doesn't have to have anything else. The flavor is in the fat and if its its there.
I was going to say the same ^^^. I would add that for me, the best burger is med rare to med.
I do season with garlic salt and pepper. I like my burger to taste like beef, not all the other additives - I add those on top of the bun.
