“I’d gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today,” J. Willington Wimpy, a.k.a. Wimpy, famously told Popeye many times over, beginning in 1931. And why not? The hamburger has been America’s go-to summer grilling staple literally for more than a century. And nothing sends an average hamburger over the top faster and easier than adding one of six Gourmet Burger Seasonings from Hi Mountain Seasonings to kick it up a notch.

The All-American hamburger may be easy to grill but taking it to the next level requires some basic tips and techniques. According to legendary chef Bobby Flay, it’s best to use lean hamburger meat (or, if you really want to go to the next level, ground venison), with a ratio of 80 percent meat/20 percent fat. This mixture will both hold the meat together and keep it from drying out when grilling, as is the case when using leaner meat. Keep the meat refrigerated until it’s time to pat it into 6-8 oz. patties, then sprinkle your Hi Mountain Seasonings Gourmet Burger Seasoning of choice over the meat, gently folding it in, then pat it into patties that are one-inch larger in diameter than the bun, to account for shrinkage when grilling. When grilling, don’t press the burgers down! Doing so will drain all the juicy flavor right out. Add your cheese about a minute before the burgers are done, then let them rest a minute after they come off the grill. This allows time for the juices to redistribute throughout the burger, giving you a more flavorful experience.
