2. 2. Form the meat mixture into 14 equal-sized patties.

3.  Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the patties until they reach your desired level of doneness. You may have to cook the patties in two or more batches depending on the size of your skillet.

7. Add in salt and pepper to taste, and cook the sauce down until it has thickened.

8. Place the patties back into the skillet, and toss to coat in the sauce.

9. Serve with more freshly chopped green onions as garnish if desired.
