....but electricity is fairly cheap here.
Here too, but lessons taught early in life aren't easy to shake. :)

Australia's heading towards ending it's dependency on gas, even for smelting. Now that we're building more and more battery farms solar power is coming to the fore. One thing Australia isn't short of is sunshine. We had originally planned to axe all gas exports by 2050 but that got Japan upset because their economy relies on gas. A 2050 deadline might be back on the table now that Canada is supplying Japan and we're off the hook.
 
Another one of my hamburger rules. No ketchup either! Never. A point I always seem to have issues with when making a fast food order. Mayonnaise is a must...but never ketchup or mustard on my burgers.
 
Speaking from before my stomach problems started:

I like lots of vegan burgers. Most are good with ketchup, like tofu burgers and vegetable burgers. Tempeh burgers were my favorite for a while, too. They’re all good on toasted buns, or even toasted bread. Some of the more modern vegan burgers that taste close to meat are my favorites, like Beyond Burgers. Those I like with vegan mayonnaise, too.

Vegan burgers at restaurants can be good, too. They’ll serve them with the works - with lettuce, tomatoes (I actually don’t like plain tomatoes, but if they’re on something where I can’t really taste them, I’m fine with them), and onions - and I’ll enjoy them. They’re also good with different kinds of sauces or vegan cheddar cheese. I like pickles, too, but I prefer to eat them separately.

Or how about pizza burgers? That’s a treat, too.
 
I still recall (late 90s?) when Carl's Jr. had pastrami available for their burgers. Man, that taste plus a charcoal broiled burger...that was the bomb! Too bad it didn't last...
There was a Kosher restaurant near my old job where they had the “Monster Burger,”
which was a hamburger topped with pastrami. That does sound weird to me.
 
I'm going to give you all my recipe. I have to explain a little, though (because I'm autistic, just kidding, it matters).

I don't use ground beef anymore. I hated the burgers shrinking up and not getting my money's worth is why. Beef is mixed with much fat and ice, and that all just melts away, basically. Ground turkey to the rescue. I buy 3 lbs. of ground turkey, and I can season it to easily taste like ground beef by adding one packet of powdered Au Jus mix. I also add in 2 TBS of ground parsley and 1 TBS of Sazon (the orange blend with Anatto in it). I mix it all together by hand (be warned that it will get messy, and the Anatto will turn your skin orange just briefly, so wear gloves if you prefer), then patty them out - I usually do 6 big jumbo patties, but you can get 8 regular size ones, if you prefer.

Then it's just cooking them up how you would any other burger.

My preferred toppings: American or sometimes Swiss cheese slices - avocado slices - stone ground mustard - maybe a few pickle slices - tomato slice - and the real bit of awesome (sometimes, not always) a fried egg. *chef's kiss*
 
Sauteed Onions ,thick 93% lean burger meat. Done medium well. Bacon can be a plus and lettuce raw onions+ ,tomato, toasted bun,mayo , NO pickles whatsoever.
