Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Form
into patties about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick and 2 1/2 - 3
inches diameter. This should make about 8 patties.

NOTES:

* Snack or Main Course -- This is a very nice finger
food, great for lunch on a hike. Or they can be served
hot as a main course.

* I usually make a double batch.

* These are great either hot or cold. If you take
them out of the freezer in the morning and put them in
your backpack, they'll be just right by lunchtime.
