Most Amish cooks would use hamburger from their own supply of freshly butchered meat. I saw these at an Amish farm once and you'll definitely get a juicer flavor with meat this fresh.

With the spring and summer picnic season approaching, I just thought I'd share a favorite, flavorful recipe for burgers that are popular in Amish homes. They'll use their own fresh, meat for this recipe and that can make all the difference in taste. So if you are looking for a tried-and-true guaranteed burger to please, this recipe is probably it. Enjoy! This, by the way, comes to us from an Amish cook in the Berne area of Indiana.
