"This is my adaptation of a recipie that came from a barbeque book many years ago. I can't remember the book, but I make these for nearly every barbeque we have (and we have a lot)"

For some reason we didn't find these to have a lot of flavor. I followed the recipe exactly and used the cheddar and onion filling. I think the burger itself may have needed a little extra spice or maybe some BBQ sauce...sorry...

These were absolutely great! Very tasty and different from regular burgers. I think the cheese on the inside helps to keep them nice and moist.

These burgers are fantastic! I made them with the monterey jack/jalapeno filling last night and they couldn't have tasted better! I cooked them on our George Foreman grill, but because of time constraints I only put them in the freezer for 30 mins - and they stayed together fine! I didn't put any plain salt in and I grated a little extra cheese for on top. I highly recommend these for a twist on hamburgers!

I made these on the grill tonight, and they were really juicy and tasty! I used the cheddar cheese filling for the burgers, and as as per instructions, I put them in the freezer for about an hour before grilling them. I didn't have cayenne pepper handy, so I sprinkled the burger mixture with seasoned salt and barbeque seasoning. What a great way to fix burgers! (It was well worth standing outside at the grill on a cold December evening to make these!) Thanks, wizkid!
