Hamburgers, the summer staple food. The smell of grilling hamburgers will set any stomach to rumbling, even if it was just filled. Some recipes call for grains (bread) to help hold the meat together and stretch the ingredients. My recipes don't. A quick an easy food related to meatloaf and meatballs. If you can make one, you can make the other. They just take different cooking times. Drain pans can be used with beef burger, if needed. They aren't necessary with turkey burger, as turkey burger has almost no grease. Save the burger grease for gravy, recipe in grain section.
