Geez, this thread has made me soooooo hungry! I finely chop onions and green bell peppers to add to mine...along with Louisiana Red Hot Sauce and lemon juice...I use crushed Ritz crackers and egg. Coat the patties in a cornmeal/flour/salt/pepper mixture and pat it in and then coat again...panfry in olive oil for taste and lower temp. By the way, these can be frozen after cooking and will be almost as good as the day they were made. We've been known to mix and fix 6 cans at once...one mess and many quick meals makes me a happy girl! I leave the bones in and remove the skin...the cats love the juice from the cans.
