Burger Variations

Submitted by 2Bleu

"Here are a few variations from the same old burgers. This comes from Woman's Day magazine, Sept 2000 issue. NOTE!: If you choose to make just one type of burger, decrease the ground beef to 1 lb but keep the seasonings, bread and toppings to the original quantity amounts. Want some dogs to go with that? combine these with Recipe #256275 :)"

I made the Meatloaf Burgers and we both loved them. Very easy and tasty. I'd love to try the Sante Fe burgers next time. Thanks 2Bleu. Made for Photo Tag.

I made this for lunch today with excellent results. I made the santa fe burger for me and the meatloaf burger for my mother. Also I used lean ground turkey, low fat yougurt instead of sourcream, and whole wheat tortillas and rolls. Both burger combos were very tasty!
