THANK YOU, thank you, thank you for reminding me of HOT HAMBURGERS!!! Its been years since I've had one. They have to be one of the best diner/comfort foods ever!! Use texas toast for the bread is my preferred choice. sometimes i will slip a piece of american cheese in to make a hot cheeseburger. thanks for posting! :D
