Used Prudhomme's "Meat Magic" seasoning, just a bit more than called for because we like a lttle spice. Added some beef broth to moisten. Formed the patties, dimpled the center, and let chill for several hours. Scallion tops a nice change from raw onions. Placed on whole-grain toasted English muffins spread with 1tbs fat free sour cream. Served with grilled red onions & corn on the cob.
