Growing up, my dad used to make these burgers all the time, and to this day this is one of my favorite burger recipes of all time. He always called them “glorified burgers” and when my mom would attempt the recipe he and I would poke fun at her and tell her that her version was “modified, not glorified”…Anyways, enough of the stupid inside jokes from my childhood that you clearly don’t care about. These burgers are meant to be thick and juicy…don’t skimp on the patties…these should be legitimate quarter to half-pounders. Enjoy.
