Salisbury Burgers

Another one developed in Recipezaar Chat. These, for me, are a cook ahead and reheat in the microwave. Another cooking for 1 thing. They are dense but stay quite moist for the reheating. I had them as burgers (no cheese this time) But they would go well with a little gravy with smashed potatoes for a main dish.
