So I think I'm gonna make some burgers this week...
I never really cook like at all so, what are your favorite recipes for seasoning burgers and whatnot? I only got a george foreman to grill on but it should work fine

oh man george forman grills suck to cook burgers on. i usually jus add like salt crack pepper onion powder worcestershire and a pinch of this garlic steak rub i use if i wanna keep it simple. usually i add the seasoning straight to the meat but sometimes i like to add jus a little and then give the patty a rub and the blacken it. I mean theres a ton of stuff u an do tho. jus like pick a stlye of burger first then figure out the seasoning n stuff based on that

Minced garlic and onion into the ground beef, maybe some parsley too.
Paprika, Worcestershire, Allspice are also good flavors in a burger.
Adding eggs is another popular way to go.

eggs as part of the seasoning or do you mean like throwing a fried egg on as a topping?

My mom got everyone in our family a george forman round the time everyone was going to college. I tried to cook a burger but it didnt work out. For some reason the whole thing it on a slant to so u have to like prop it up on books and shit. theres only one temperature setting...not very hot. I just couldnt get the burgeer to sear and then i like crushed it and all the juices were spilling all over the counter idk maybe i wasnt using it right

Beat me to it.
Put your ground beef in a bowl. Add an egg Put steak spice Toss in some fresh chopped basil Grill paper thin onions and throw in the mix You can add a bit of BBQ sauce if you want but not too much

I generally use salt pepper and either cayenne or chipotle pepper in my ground meat along with one egg and some breadcrumbs to bind it real nice.
Hand make 1/2 lb patties and let them chill in the fridge for an hour. Cook them to a good medium( still a little pink) to keep that nice juiciness. And DONT smooth them to cook faster that just cooks out the juices and will leave you with a bland dry burger.
Burgers can definitely be a high class meal of you cook them right. Also cheese is important always melt it over them at the end. I use Munster or pepper jack with mine. Top with a nice garden( lettuce, onion, tomato) and maybe some grilled hot peppers.
Hope this helps, enjoy!

I add Ritz crackers, Worcestershire sauce, and cinnamon. Press the patties into a sweettart shape so they end up flat.

Yeah the egg just acts as a binder.
Cumin, also probably good.
I enjoy heavily spiced food though, I usually end up going overboard.
