Notes
Feel free to use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. Add your favorite burger toppings, like bacon or sautéed mushrooms, for extra flavor. For a more veggie-friendly version, swap out some beef for finely chopped mushrooms or add in your favorite vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
