When my fiancee and I make ours using lean ground, we tend to mix in french onion powdered soup mix along with salt/pepper and a single egg. We make the patty using a largish jar lid (put a layer of plastic wrap in to make removal easier), press in roughly 1/8th lb of meat, then put a couple tbls of shredded cheddar/bacon bits mix on top leaving outside edge of patty clear, place roughly 1/8th lb meat on top and press edges together to form finished patty. Refrigerate for 20 - 30min to allow the meat to become a bit more solid.

The other burgers we make use ground buffalo, super super lean meat and very healthy. For those burgers we add a little salt and pepper and an egg up that's it. We enjoy the favour of the buffalo too much to alter it with any additional spices or flavourings.
