Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use high-quality ground beef with a bit of fat content, like 80/20. You can substitute the grated onion with onion powder if you're short on time. If you want to spice things up, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce to the meat mixture. To ensure even cooking, flip the buns halfway through broiling. This recipe is a great way to enjoy classic American recipes.
