    How many patties does this recipe make?
    Community Answer
    The instructions show two patties being made from the ingredients listed, but you could just make one large patty if you'd prefer.
  • Question
    Can I use chicken meat?
    Community Answer
    As long as the meat is minced, you can use any meat instead of beef. Chicken mince might make the patty a bit more dry, as beef has fat marbled throughout, and chicken is very lean.
