Why do you use very lean hamburger meat? I realize there's cheese, mayonnaise, and eggs, but still...the more fat the better.

Does the meat really make a crust or does it crumble? did you coat the dish your cooked it in with Pam to make sure it didn't stick?
what is the mayo for - everything sounds yummie, until I thought about eggs and mayo.
