Must be a canadian thing, as I put the same stuff into my burgers, sometimnes only the onion soup mix and other times just a few of the extras. Other times just mix in BBQ sauce right into the beef or all of the above to really make the taste buds go crazy. I have also just used beer as flavouring over nonspiced burgers, its also really good for wild meat - deer, moose, etc.
I'll vouch for the dry Onion soup mix here in Ontario as well. It's weird, because I don't remember anyone ever showing me or telling me the "big secret". Must just be in our DNA. 
jakewash, you're right - mixing the BBQ sauce right in with the raw meat is an amazing burst of flavour as well.
I've been fortunate enough to have attended this mans classes and demonstrations numerous times. His trick is to aggressively work the meat to get as much air out as possible. And he makes them very thick. There wasn't one person there who didn't have juices running down their face.

Normally mine are pretty basic, but this thread inspired me to experiment a bit last night. I mixed in some BBQ sauce, some pepper, and used taco cheese on top (that or American was all I had, thought that would go better). Since it was a BBQ burger, I used more BBQ instead of ketchup on top. I had a tomato on it as well.

Variety is the spice of life in my book. I run the gamut from straight up beef to a more "meatloaf" concoction. It depends on mood, and the type/quality of the meat. I tend to add more things when I use a drier meat (like Bison), instead of adding another meat with more fat. Those additions help add/keep moisture in the final product. For those who like Worcestershire sauce, I've substituted Pickapeppa sauce with great success. Similar flavor profile, but just a tinge of heat. Vidalia Onion Steak Sauce has also been a winner. To get a "cowboy burger" flavor, take some crispy bacon, and crumble it up into the burger meat. Works really well with Montreal seasoning. Perhaps the oddest thing I've sprinkled on that has been a winner is some Old Bay Seasoning. Seems odd, but it really works. Rich

Here in the (Midwest) United States, that's called meatloaf, not a hamburger. 
Then again, we also make 'horeshoes' around here, which are as follows, top-down:
lots of cheese sauce
lots of French Fries
Hamburger patties (or fried chicken tenders!, or fried pork tenderloin!!)
Toasted bread
Plate
I can handle about one per year. 
How does the plate taste?
