I’m guessing your making meatballs? You don’t marinade burger. I would keep it simple with oregano, garlic and freshly ground pepper. That can be either made into balls, or not. don’t forget the mushrooms for the sauce.
If your burger is low fat *94%, then cook it in the sauce. if it’s 80%, cook then drain before adding to the sauce. The package should tell you.
Don’t marinate hamburger, it makes it very tough. When adding it to soup or chili, you would want to cook it separately, and add it near the end of the cooking of the sauce. With homemade sauce from whole tomatoes, you would cook the sauce down to make it thick first, add your spices, then last add the meat. Save the marinating for cheap cuts of meat to make them less tough, or to grilling meats, or for adding taste to bland meat. and follow marinating times and recipes correctly, different timing for different foods. Different recipes with different purposes, too.
Instead, get liberal with spices. Hamburger really does take up and keep the spices well. Anyone who loves meatloaf knows that it always tastes better the next day as leftovers. Simply because the meat has has time to soak up the spices.
I don’t know if you mean that you are cooking hamburger loose, and then pouring tomato sauce over it and cooking it that way, or rolling it into meatballs. So when you cook hamburger loose, cook it until the pink is gone, and you start to see browning. You can brown onions or garlic in the same pan, but add them later, especially the garlic it cooks fast, and burns easily. Drain the grease off, turn the skillet down, and add your tomato sauce and spices. Cook it until heated through and bubbly, and serve. The longer you cook the hamburger in the sauce, the tougher it will be.
Same for meatballs, you will want to cook them separately until almost done, add them to the sauce, and finish cooking them, and heating up your sauce at the same time.
Ever make home made tacos from a kit? They tell you to add the spices and a little water, and cook off the water. Did you ever think that the hamburger was a little chewy after doing that? Hamburger does not like water.
Do you want flavorful hamburger, as well as flavorful sauce? Add some spices to the meatballs, or some near end of frying loose hamburger.
