Just to see if we can spice up a hamburger a little, AND to stretch out the last bit of burger meat after the main family burgers were made, I tried throwing some things here and there into the burger to see what it would be like.
I put some cornflake crumbs, a little bit of tofu (the meat extender) and some spices and mixed it well. Grilled it up and it held together just fine. Put it in a large sesame seed bun, which helped a LOT, and threw on some raw baby spinach, slice of cheese, iceberg lettuce, sliced onions and sliced tomatoes from the garden. Spicy brown mustard, ketchup and just a hint of mayo rounded it off.
RESULT: Not bad. I think the tofu, of all things, helped keep it moist. Really sucked in the spices. The stacked baby spinach and lettuce on the large bun really, helped.
THE BIG QUESTION: "Would you have it again?"
Answer: Yes, probably. Especially if there was just enough meat left over. Not a bad stretcher. I'm surprised the cornflakes didn't make it taste like a breakfast burger or something.
