1. I made the sauce and tried it and it really didn't have much flavor at all, so I tried something new that I think has much more flavor. Feel free to substitute fresh onion in place of onion powder and possibly add some garlic if you'd like. 3 Tbsp tomato sauce 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce 1 tsp lemon juice 1 tsp soy sauce ~1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper ~1/2-1 tsp onion powder The lemon juice breaks down the complex sugars and makes the sauce slightly sweeter and less rich, you can omit it if you'd like.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Justin S.

2. Looking at the ingredient list for this recipe, I thought they sounded quite good. But I must say, they were AWESOME. The sauce made the dish. I doubled it and still would have liked more. Who would have thought the combo of 2 simple ingredients could taste so good. Super simple, definite keeper.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Bekah49036 Reply 2
3. Excellent and easy to make dish! I will double the sauce next time as everyone wanted more. I've been making a Salisbury Steak recipe every few weeks for my family that is a bit more time consuming before this. To my delight, my husband and mother said they prefer this recipe instead of the the typical Salisbury Steak. I will make this instead. Thank you for an easy, quick alternative to the typical Salisbury Steak!!   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Brew City Chef Reply 2
4. I've seen this recipe on other sites, but never tried it. I was looking to use up a pound of 96% lean ground beef tonight and I'm so glad I found this recipe here so I could rate it - it's really great! I followed it exactly, except I used minced scallion instead of onion and added chicken broth to the pan instead of hot water. The burgers were moist and juicy and the sauce was delicious - next time, I'll double or triple it since my bf and his friend were practically licking the pan. I served these with stir fried cabbage (just a package of coleslaw mix wilted with a little sesame oil) and some leftover steamed white rice. A definite keeper!!   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Fash4515 Reply 2

1. 1. For the sauce, sautee thin sliced mushrooms, then add ketchup, worcestershire and sugar!. After letting it simmer for a bit, add red wine and let it reduce. You'll have yourself a fragrant, delicious hambagu sauce. :) 2. When you pour water in to simmer the patties, try adding hondashi (Bonito Fish stock) to the water. It'll soak a great umami flavor into your patties.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Rumiko M. Reply 1
2. everything, greatly increased the flavor   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Justin S. Reply
