Assemble the hamburgers: Toast the hamburger buns lightly in the pan or oven. Place the cooked patties on the bottom bun, and add your desired toppings. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired. Serve with the top bun and enjoy your flavorful hamburgers! Ways you could enhance flavor: Caramelize some onions in the same pan and sauce you used to cook the patties with and serve them alongside the hamburger or on it, Adding cheese can add a subtle bit of creaminess to the dish, Serving a bit of Chick-fil-A sauce on your hamburger after it's done can add to the savoriness with a hint of sweetness
