Tips & Substitutions
For a juicier patty, consider adding a touch of mustard or a splash of soy sauce to the beef mixture. If you don't have white bread, whole wheat or sourdough can work as a substitute. Adjust the seasonings to your taste, and try adding a pinch of smoked paprika for added depth. This recipe is a fun twist on classic beef recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

How can I make these patties spicier?
To add some heat, mix in diced jalapeños or a teaspoon of hot sauce into the beef mixture. You can also sprinkle some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes into the seasoning for an extra kick. Adjust according to your heat preference.
What can I serve with these patties?
These patties are versatile! They work well with classic sides like mashed potatoes or macaroni and cheese. You can also serve them on a bun as a burger alternative or alongside a refreshing coleslaw for a crunchy texture.
