I tried this recipe last night and did not like it one bit. It was bland, soggy and the burgers would not stay together. Probably the worst burger I've tried. Will not make again.

These are the most moist, beautiful burgers I have ever had. I have already had them twice. No onion and mushrooms due to personal taste. The sour cream is an excellent idea.

I will definitely make these again. All 4 of us really enjoyed them. The sour cream makes them moist, but it's the dijon that makes them fantastic.
