My Tips and Recommendations

• Use a ground beef mixture (80/20) with slightly higher fat content for more juicy sandwiches.
• To keep the hamburger buns from getting soggy, lightly toast them.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning to suit your needs.

Healthier Option

Use lean ground beef or turkey, add more veggies, such as onions and bell peppers, use whole grain buns, low-sodium Worcestershire sauce, and mustard, and grill or bake the meat to cut down on added fats to make Dago healthier. These adjustments improve nutrition without sacrificing flavor.
