This is a great dish to pass along, German hamburgers are super moist and have been in our family for at least 60 years!

  • To Fancy Betty--i'm wondering if this might have been a recipe form the 1940's--which would have been renamed during WWII as a Salisbury Steak. This would have been a great way to "stretch" a pounnd of meat!
