"Sacred cows make the tastiest hamburger."
-Abbie Hoffman
Plain hamburgers are great, but with just a few added ingredients you can really ramp up the flavor. By adding umami from the Worcestershire, mustard, and garlic powder, all you need is a bit of mayonnaise or some mustard, tomato, lettuce, and maybe onion for a perfect burger.
