I made these burgers in less than 10 minutes. Kids loved them. I did my own version of caramelized onion with sundried tomatoes - delicious!

I made the hamburgers without the pancetta and they were fabulous. Adding the tomato paste made a real difference. I will never go back to adding breadcrumbs to the meat.
