    Yum, that sounds good! The same mix would also make delicious meatballs or burger patties, I'm thinking.

    This is VERY much like my recipe, and it is wonderful. I'm impressed that you add a generous helping of garlic and parsley. Parsley is sooooo important for flavor! And the cheese -- yeah baby!!

    Yes, great burgers and meatballs. If these were beef, they'd be my Italian grandma's meatballs.

    Have very similar recipe for patties, just has Worcester sauce and a few less ingredients.
