TIPS FROM ENZ:
- To avoid excess oil (as the sauce may already be a bit oily), you may grill or broil the burger patties. This will also add better flavor to your beef patties.
- You may keep the patties warm by wrapping them with foil or putting them in a thermo food box while waiting for your mushroom gravy sauce to be done.
