We loved these burgers. Loaded with flavor and DH really enjoyed the ketchup with the tobasco. These were very juicy and we grilled them approx. 7 minutes.

These are probably some of the best burgers I have had in a long time. I loved the taste of them, and the sauce was excellent! I made homemade hambuger buns (40-Minute Hamburger Buns) and served the burgers with Recipe #61830. I didn't need to put anything else on the burgers - they're perfect! Thanks, this recipe is a keeper! :)
