Now THATS a burger! Only problem I had was that it came out thick and had to eat it with a fork. But the taste.....was heaven!

When my boys were not so "Paul Bunyan" size, I pared down a very similar recipe. I used ketchup, mustard, half a cheese slice and some steak sauce inside and stretched a pound of meat to make 4-5 servings. Now that they are adults, they love the "grown-up" version!
