Breadcrumbs: Similar to eggs, breadcrumbs can make the burger too dense and mask the natural flavors of the beef.
Soy Sauce: Although it adds flavor, soy sauce can overpower the beefy taste and alter the classic burger flavor profile.
– Onions in Large Chunks: Large chunks of onions can affect the texture and make the burger fall apart during cooking. – .
Worcestershire Sauce in Excess: While a small amount can add flavor, too much Worcestershire sauce can make the burger salty and overpowering.
Liquid Smoke: While it imparts a smoky flavor, liquid smoke can be overpowering and artificial-tasting if not used sparingly.
Hot Sauce: Adding hot sauce directly to the meat mixture can make the burger spicy, which might not appeal to everyone.
