  • “Hey Mysterygirl, this was a nice different idea, it tasted wonderful!! but had trouble keeping the patties together.Put them on a seseme seed kaiser bun with dejong mustard, slices of walla walla onions, and sharp cheddar cheese, didn’t have any steak seasoning, so I used a sprinkle of “Big Dave’s Garlic Blaster”. (a local thing made in Kelowna). really like the idea of the saurkraut inside the patty, just have to figure out how to keep it there! Thanks for sharing, will do them again.”
