Yummy, messy, great butgers! I made them according to Mimi's recipe, broiled them a little longer, and then took them a step further and added a slice of swiss cheese on top. We were in hog heaven! Will make these again! Thanks Mimi! :-)

This is hands down the best recipe for burgers known to man. The combiniation of onion, pepper, wine and thyme is a delight to the palate. Will be making this again and again! That's for certain.

We grilled these and they were so tasty! Shaped into oblong patties and had them in sub rolls. I used sweet vadalia onions, as they are my favorite this time of year and nice and mild. Loved the addition of thyme, and the other ingredients complimented the beef wonderfully. We had juice dripping down our arms, but who cares! We will be sharing these this coming weekend again with company!
