TEXAS BURGERS
This recipe came from my husband's mother (who had 7 kids). It's a great way to "stretch" burger. My kids just love it when I make this. I think it's called Texas Burgers (Tex Burgers) cuz she made it on Texas Toast bread. The hamburger juice gives the bread a great flavor

Steps:
- Mix raw ground beef with all ingredients. You can add anything else, like green peppers or leave out anything except for the mayonnaise.
- Add enough mayonnaise so it becomes the consistency of ham salad (spreadable). Spread burger mixture on bread (Texas Toast bread or regular bread) very thinly all the way to the edges (it shrinks up as it cooks). Put all on a cookie sheet and broil until meat is done and the bread edges are toasted. My kids laugh because the smoke alarm always goes off when I broil, and they yell, "Dinner's done!".
- You should have about 8 sandwiches per pound of burger.
- Serve open-faced -- either "naked" like I like them or any condiments you choose. Really a different taste instead of just boring burgers.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your burgers. Choose high-quality beef, fresh vegetables, and flavorful seasonings.
- Season your burgers liberally: Don't be afraid to season your burgers generously. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper per pound of beef.
- Cook your burgers over medium heat: Cooking your burgers over medium heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming dry or overcooked.
- Flip your burgers only once: Flipping your burgers too often can cause them to lose their juices and become dry. Flip them only once, when they are cooked about halfway through.
- Let your burgers rest before serving: Letting your burgers rest for a few minutes before serving will help them retain their juices and make them more flavorful.
Conclusion:
Open-faced Texas burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a casual get-together or a quick weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make open-faced Texas burgers that are sure to impress your family and friends.
