Remove the burgers to an ovenproof dish and place in the oven at 300 degrees for 15 minutes.In the same skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Continue beating until golden brown and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.The sauce will thicken as it cools. Season with salt and pepper.
Put the burgers back in the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

For the sauce, add enough butter to the pan to create 4 tablespoons of fat, including the fat from the burger.
This recipe tastes equally good with ground turkey or ground pork.
