Seven Flavor Hamburger

"This was excellent. I served this open faced and topped with a little shredded cheese. The meat was very tangy and had a great sloppy joe flavor without being too spicy. This was not bland either. We ..." See moreenjoyed our meal. Thanks for sharing this, it's a keeper!"

I was surprised that all the cooking left the chopped celery still crunchy. I'd personally skip that ingredient next time."
