Used pork mince, family preference and they were enjoyed by all. Nice, subtle BBQ flavour, without being too strong. Would also be great as little meatballs for a party.

We thought these burgers were a nice change from our usual. I used 3 cloves of garlic and 4 teaspoons of chili powder. The spicy flavor was great. We grilled our burgers and they were moist and juicy. Thank you Lorac for posting your recipe.

I made half recipe and got 4 burgers. This burger is so different in taste than the other burgers I tried. My son is fussy for burgers but this one, he ate it without any problem. I used more Dijon mustard. We all enjoyed these burgers. Thanks Lorac :) Made for PAC Spring 2010

These burgers are pretty good. Nice flavor of barbecue that makes it a little different.

This is a great recipe - my man loved the burgers. I'm cooking for two (now that all the babes are out of the nest) so I used less than half the amount of ground beef. I cut the rest of the ingredients in half and it still turned out wonderfully!
