Instructions
Prepare the Patties

- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty.
Cook the Burgers
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Toast the Buns
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Lightly butter or spray the inside of the hamburger buns. Place them on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 4-5 minutes, or until lightly golden.
