**8 Common Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Burger**
There’s nothing quite like sinking your teeth into a juicy, perfectly cooked burger. But achieving burger bliss isn’t always as simple as it seems. From the wrong meat blend to improper cooking techniques, a few missteps can turn your burger into a disappointing mess. Whether you’re grilling outdoors or cooking indoors, avoiding these common mistakes will ensure your burger is a showstopper every time.

### **1. Choosing the Wrong Meat**
The foundation of any great burger is the meat. Opting for lean meat may seem healthier, but it often results in a dry, flavorless patty. Burgers need fat for juiciness and flavor.
– **Solution**: Choose ground beef with a fat content of 20% (like an 80/20 blend). This ensures a juicy, flavorful burger.

### **2. Overworking the Meat**
Overmixing or compacting the meat can result in a dense, tough patty. The more you handle the meat, the more you compress it, losing that desired tenderness.
– **Solution**: Gently shape the meat into patties, handling it as little as possible. Aim for a loose, even texture.

### **3. Forgetting to Season Properly**
Seasoning makes or breaks your burger. Skimping on salt and pepper—or adding it too late—can leave your burger bland.
– **Solution**: Season generously with salt and pepper just before cooking. Avoid mixing the seasoning into the meat, as it can affect the texture.
