Made it today! Excellent burger! Did add 1/3 diced orange sweet pepper (for color), 1 marinated Sundried tomato, chili powder and cumin. Otherwise followed the recipe. Froze the uncooked burgers we didn’t eat.
This burger has texture, taste, wasn’t too dry and didn’t fall apart! Thank you for this recipe!
