When I was growing up on the farm in Chester, celebrations were a huge part of the summer! And with all of the celebrations there was of course delicious food! One meal I loved was my mom's hamburgers. Just like with all foods she added that extra touch of taste and love.
Here is how she made them.
Theresa's Extra Yummy Hamburgers
Take 1 pound of hamburger and wash it in cold water. (Yep! run in under the tap and make it nice and wet).
Place the hamburgers in a bowl and knead it slightly with your fingers to break it apart.
