Recipe Notes
I was a bit tripped up by this recipe. I had made the burgers the first time and they were on the salty side. While I am more sensitive to sodium content than some people, it seemed odd because I hadn’t added that much salt. I chalked it up to the provolone cheese. I had picked it up in a hurry and it was a Kraft® product that had more salt than the cheese I usually purchase.
