The Chairman's Burger

Our co-founder and Chairman, Brad, loves to make these burgers with his family and we think they will quickly become a favorite in your house too.  These burgers are quick and easy to make and an added bonus is that this is the perfect recipe to get the kids involved in the preparation.  Dicing the vegetables is a good way to introduce knife skills and smaller hands can mix everything together and form the patties.  Something to get the whole family involved!

You'll notice all the spices are listed as "to taste."  Use this as an opportunity to experiment with the kids and come up with the flavor combination that they will love.
