- In a large bowl add all the ingredients. With clean hands get in and mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Make a tiny "test" burger for flavor adjustments. Heat up a small pan and place a tiny burger. Cook on both sides until it's cooked through. Taste and see if you need to adjust the seasoning.
- Cover the burger mix with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready make burgers. An hour or so is good.

Notes
Serve with toasted hamburger buns or inside romaine lettuce cups.
Terrific with sriracha mayonnaise or regular mayo!
