Katherine Barron Tate, as the mom of six strapping boys with a busy life of her own, happens to love this recipe. She could make a batch of these (and did when the Tate boys were growing up) and when the boys got home from school, work, dates (*waggles brows*), they could fix themselves a snack and often ate these patties on hamburger buns with a slice of cheese. 😉
