This burger is delicious and very simple. These easy-to-find ingredients are a great way to give extra lean beef some much-needed flavor. The patties come together quickly and go well with any and all of your favorite toppings and garnishes -- the teens in the house each had two topped with cheese and loaded up with their favorite condiments, but the unadorned meat patty is moist and flavorful too. These burgers don’t need the smoky charred taste from grilling and it’s great to have a recipe for a burger that can be cooked in house year round. -- Angela @ the well worn apron

My husband does not cook, but he wooed me 30 years ago with these burgers that he claims he invented. I have tried them using other kinds of crumbs (e.g., rice krispie crumbs) and that works equally well. Recently I made these for my son, the gourmet cook, and he loved them. Very simple, but very good. - JoanG

Joan, have you ever had a breakfast egg casserole with cornflakes? I had one in a hotel in Chicago some years ago. The restaurant in the hotel no longer serves this recipe and I haven't been able to locate it. Have saved five of your recipes, love them!! Keep us posted on the memoir.
