Don't overmix the meat. Overmixing will make the burgers tough.
Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help prevent them from drying out.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Serve the burgers on your favorite bun with your favorite toppings.
