I have this with fresh homegrown tomatoes and green beans to make it a meal.
For the pork rinds: I just get a quart ziploc bag and fill it 1/2 to 3/4 full and then crush them.

* Deb's notes: I will keep the ingredients on hand as this is a quick meal and we really loved this. We could *not* taste the pork rinds in here - I am not a pork rind fan at all. It may have been the brand, I don't know.
The recipe above makes 3 good sized patties. I fried them in a little butter. On the amount of rinds - I doubled the recipe and used almost a 3 ounce bag (of uncrushed rinds). I use Uncle Dan's dip mix (prepared) instead of the HVR, that's what I had on hand. I used 1/2 cup cheese for a double recipe.
I served the patties with sliced tomatoes and the KFC coleslaw clone recipe - so good!
The spicy pork rinds really balanced out the strong canned tuna flavor very nicely. If you buy spicy pork rinds, be sure and double check the ingredients for funky ingredients and added sugar.
