Woofer Burgers
"We make these burgers for our 2 woofers, Buddy and Toodee. They have also given me permission to sample at least one patty to make sure they have the right flavor. Our pets are very special to us, they treat us real well and we reciprocate."

Such a tasty burger. Hearty, filling and best done on the charcoal grill for that summer time taste. The only thing I did add was a splash of worchestershire sauce. Made for Bill in honor of being Chef of the Day~

I live in Burnaby, British Columbia. I am retired and have written a cookbook entitled, From Uncle Bill's Kitchen. I am a recipe developer, author, publisher, distributor and a chef. My cookbook is very unique as I have a Nutrient Analysis for each ingredient used in each recipe that shows you the values for Calories, Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. A high-lighted bar shows the values on a per serving basis plus the Fat/Cal%.
From Uncle Bill's Kitchen contains tried-and-true, tested, easy to follow reipes for both novice and experienced cooks. You'll find old Russian, Ukrainian, and other ethnic favorites, along with modern West Coast dishes. The Nutrient Analysis will please the health conscious. Uncle Bill's favorite recipes will reward efforts of the most creative cook and provide the family with many tantalizing, healthful meals.
