How do you make your burgers amazing? I'm on a diet so want to make my dinner count tastewise. I've searched a few recipes online and came up with: Mince egg diced mushroom worcestershire sauce salt pepper pinch of paprika bit of mustard garlic & onion powder Anythign else to add to make them next level? I might add chilli flakes to mine too.

There was a Heston Blumenthal series about 10 years ago called something like In Search of Perfection where he tried to make the "perfect" version of family favourites like roast potatoes, Spag Bol, chilli, etc. If you have an entire day, the cheeseburgers are amazing 😂

If you don't have an entire day (and have a mincer), the burger patties are worth making. They are just beef and salt but he uses different cuts of meat and lines up the grain of the mince to give the prefect texture. It's a bit of a faff but they freeze really well so you can make a big batch. The tomato sauce is worth the effort too, especially if you are looking for a low calorie hit of flavour.

If that is still too much like hard work, I would take inspiration from the fact that he keeps the pattie plain and add the flavourings with the toppings. Raclette is my favourite cheese to use, caramelised onions, crisp smoky bacon and Sriracha mayonnaise. That's not very helpful for your diet though 😂

That is a lot of effort!

Wrap your burger mince around a chunk of cheese (whatever type takes your fancy, but the easier melting the better) and then you get a cheesy stuffed burger. No good for your diet, obviously, but it's delicious!
