Tips:

- Sun-dry the tomatoes yourself if you can. This will give you the best control over the flavor and texture of the tomatoes.
- If you don't have time to sun-dry your own tomatoes, you can use store-bought sun-dried tomatoes. Just be sure to rinse them well before using them.
- Don't overcook the burgers. They should be cooked through but still juicy.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Some good options include cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
