Tips & Substitutions
For a heartier texture, consider adding finely chopped nuts or seeds to the mixture. If you don't have George Washington broth, any vegetable or chicken broth can be used as a substitute. You can also replace oatmeal with breadcrumbs for a different consistency. Make sure to finely chop the onion to ensure even distribution and flavor in the patties.
