Notes:
-The patties can be frozen, just place wax paper between them and wrap tightly. They can go straight from the freezer to the grill, but may need to cook slightly longer.
-If it's not grilling season or you just don't want to be in the heat, the patties can be baked or cooked on a pan, stovetop. Times may vary.
