Recipe by LeeAnne Wright

"We loved this recipe. The ketchup was sweet and spicy but in no way too hot for kids. Kate ate the slider like it was her only meal." —Dan Anzil, dad of Kate, 6, Toronto Tip: Burgers are great to make in advance; wrap individually and freeze. Cook burgers without defrosting, just like the ones you buy in a box (except these ones taste a whole lot better!).

  1. Mix all ingredients together. Add more panko if mixture is too wet. Season lightly with pepper.
