Stretch ground beef with oats instead of breadcrumbs, way better texture
I kept seeing people rave about using breadcrumbs to stretch a pound of beef, but every time I tried it the patties came out mushy and fell apart on the grill. Last month I swapped in half a cup of quick oats for a family pack of 2 pounds and let it sit with an egg for 10 minutes before shaping. The oats soaked up the juices without turning gummy, and I got 6 solid burgers for about $4.50 total instead of 4. Has anyone else found a weird filler that actually beats the standard advice?

Cooked rice mashed in works too, soaks up the fat and keeps them juicy without that oat taste.
