My sons aged 2 and 4 loved these, although they were a little too sweet for the adults, so next time I'll probably reduce the tomato sauce a bit. I might add a few grated veggies too (carrot, zucchini) as these patties would be a great spot to hide a few LOL. I'm a big fan of SFI recipes and this is no exception.
