PAUL BUNYAN BURGERS

Paul Bunyan Burgers image

This is from Quick Cooking (2001) and credited to Jo Reed. I made these (with a few changes) for an afternoon BBQ and my guests just loved the flavor of these burgers! I omitted the bacon, mushrooms, and horseradish, and made smaller, single-decker burgers to yield more than 3 servings.
