I would make sure that you're not cooking them too long, and you're getting something with a little more fat in it (don't go for lean patties). Also, you can mix a lot of things into your patties to make them jucier- you can try with BBQ, with Steak sauce, and I even had a friend that added the ketchup right into the meat! I'd just play around with a few different things (mixing in different things, going for different hamburger than you usually buy, things like that) until you get the burger that you want! :)
There are small boxes of hamburger in a red box that I buy frozen and they are soooo juicy it's amazing. I forget the name but they are like $6.00 a box and I think you get 6.
I usually add Worcestershire sauce to beef mixture with some chopped onions. Other times, I add mustard or soy sauce and herbs.
I would suggest starting on high heat and searing the meat in a non stick pan first, this usually is about 2 minutes for the first side. Then flip the burger, and turn the heat down and cover the burger with cheese and a lid. Cook until desired temperature.
Of course, I don't know that it's healthy that way. I'm finally starting to feel that I eat far too much beef for good health. I think moderation is the key, if vegetarianism doesn't appeal to you (I once tried THAT for a year, and felt lethargic and listless most of the time, so it didn't appeal to me, either).
The trick is adding a bit of fat to a 85% fat hamburger. Think of it as making meatballs - a few tablespoons of whole milk with breadcrumbs mixed into the beef allows the bread crumbs to absorb more of the beef fat - keeping it in the burgher or meatball or whatever. Similar to the principle behind a good Bolognese sauce. I'd suggest you have your butcher grind, or grind the meat yourself - commercial (chain store) hamburger is just too dangerous to fool with. Good Luck!
Boy, not sure all she puts in them, but my adds a dry soup mix of some kind, spices, sauce, onion sometimes, and whatever in a big bowl. Dives in with both hands to mix it up, makes the patties, and then we cook them on the grill. Yummy....
Most have already said forget the more expensive, more lean hamburg. Juice comes from the fat. I like the 73/27 proportion. Also mix in like 1/4 cup worschestire sauce per pound before cooking and then show some patience while cooking - cook on medium-low heat and turn them suckers a few times.
The last step; call the king and he'll be right over to wolf down two or three of them. I am my own royal food tester! LMAO
you got some great suggestions already.. don't over cook them, use a slightly higher fat beef, cook them over low heat and cover them..takes longer, but they'll be juicier.. and I like to add a little bit of mustard into the meat.. others suggested worcheshire, I like mustard better. :O)
I mix some worchesterchire sauce, onions, salt & pepper, and any choice of seasoning mix for grilling, in with the ground beef. The patties are grilled until the sides are brown and then flipped to finishe them. They are pretty good!
I cook mine on the George Foreman because I'm impatient, but you can do it in a pna on the stove or the grill as well. Try a lower heat for a longer period of time.
I use A-1(about a tablespoon for each pound of beef), and parmesan cheese(about a tablespoon per pound). Mix with your hands until everything is just combined, don't overwork it or they'll be tough.
I use 80/20 hamburger, although the 73 kind will work as well. Good luck!
Carol, Julia Childs said never use hamburger lower or higher than 80/20. It needs a little grease for flavor and taste. If you want to keep the taste but get rid of the grease, put the cooked hamburger on a paper towel and squeeze most of the grease out. It will still taste great but most of the grease will be gone.

Sarah has better specifics.
