    Fantastic dish, but too have it at its best, nooooooooo substituting and don’t overwork your mix. It can feel close to as loose as working with high hydration sourdough! You won’t have made it wrong!

    This was dinner last night for the family. I had a bit more beef and pork so went with about 1.5 times the recipe. It was pretty good overall. The patties are very juicy and well seasoned but not over the top. My 1.5 times the recipe made about 7 patties so a good sized meal. My son loved them, but that is doubtless because anything with ketchup is very popular around here. Sandiegolemons is right, the sauce is very reminiscent of A1 steak sauce, which I don't usually love, but in moderate amounts with the burgers, it was quite good. I used dry vermouth as we were out of sake. Next time I would up worcestershire a touch and perhaps put in a squirt of soy or maggi to see if we can up the savoury and cut the tang a bit. Served with steamed rice and steamed carrots. Not a bad little dinner.

    This was really good and the kids dug it. I served it with a french style julienned carrots in cream and chives which went great with it. The burger sauce is a bit reminiscent of A-1, which I despise, but this was rather nice. A fun twist on burgers, protein style, to mix it up on a weekday night. I used ground turkey which substituted beautifully.
