@Dad always used the Worcestershire sauce, so I don't skip it. 1 lb. recipe for four patties. ↩
When the kids were a little younger I did Hawaiian buns/mini sweet rolls and then make smaller patties for sliders. ↩
Be sure you don't overdo it with the mixing or your burgers may end up on the "tough" side. ↩
