Depression Era Hamburgers image

This recipe was handed down to me from my Great-grandmother who told stories of how clever they had to be to make things stretch during the Depression era My great- grandparents made it by turning their house into a boarding house. One of the meals she made to make sure everyone got some food were these thin burgers. The taste is awesome

No meal is complete without dessert! I usually serve a slice of apple pie or a scoop of ice cream with my hamburgers.

I like to serve a salad with my hamburgers. It helps to balance out the richness of the hamburger and the fries.

Fries are another classic side dish for hamburgers. They're salty and crispy, and they're always a hit.

Onion rings are the perfect side dish for hamburgers. They're crispy and flavorful, and they add a nice crunch to the meal.

Bacon makes everything better, so I always add bacon to my hamburgers. I cook it until it's crispy, and then I crumble it over the top of the hamburger.

I'm a big fan of cheese, so I always add extra cheese to my hamburgers. I also like to add a slice of tomato and a leaf of lettuce.

I love to add a little spice to my hamburgers. I usually add a teaspoon of chili powder and a pinch of cayenne pepper. It gives them a nice kick.

I made these hamburgers with whole wheat bread and turkey bacon, and they were still delicious. I also used a low-fat cheese, and they were just as cheesy and flavorful as the traditional version.

I've made these hamburgers several times now, and they're always a hit. They're so versatile, too. I've used different types of ground meat, different seasonings, and different toppings. They're always delicious.

These hamburgers were a great way to use up some leftover mashed potatoes. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with ketchup, mustard, and pickles, and they were delicious.

These Depression-era hamburgers were a hit! They were so easy to make and tasted delicious. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and they were still juicy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again.
