Even when you love to cook, there are times when the age-old question of "What's for dinner?" can leave you stumped. Perhaps, like me, you've had the frustrating experience of making loops around the grocery store aisles, zombie-like, and still coming up empty-handed. For times like this, I've made the ultimate beef burger my go-to dinner solution. It's quick to prepare, flavorful, and guaranteed to make the family happy. And when served with Bubbie's special sauce, it rivals the $22 burgers on the fanciest restaurant menu.
