Notes
Try making these burgers with ground turkey, chicken or pork instead of ground beef.
Add on extra toppings like guacamole, roasted garlic, sautéed peppers and battered fried onions.
Store the patties and toppings separately in the fridge for 3-5 days. Reheat in the oven, in a pan on the stovetop or on the grill.
Freeze the burger patties for 3-4 months then cook from frozen.
