Toppings are on the inside and they are sooooo juicy. Love these on the campfire, but be careful not to turn them too much as they will fall apart.

I was very disappointed in this tasteless, wet burger. Not juicy or moist, just soaking wet. The BBQ and egg were too much. The onion disappeared and the relish gave it a slight sweet taste. Jalapenos at least would have been better. I used quality beef and it was still tasteless. No flavor at all. I will never make again.

These turned out well, and were a lot easier to put together than I anticipated. I ended up using just a bit of extra cheese. I cooked these on my indoor electric grill, and the held together well. It took about 7 minutes, which is about 2 minutes longer than plain burgers. We had mayonnaise on the buns, and just a bit of ketchup. I thought the ketchup was even overkill, although a bit of lettuce might have been nice. I will definitely do these again.

These were really tasty! I was a little shy with putting too much filling in the middle, next time I will definitely add more, but nevertheless the combo of ingredients resulted in a juicy and flavorful burger. I used a combination of sweet and dill relish and finely chopped vidalia onion and used a sharp cheddar cheese for the filling. I think pretty much any cheese would be delicious for these burgers. I was afraid of using the barbecue sauce, but it really only added a hint of flavor and wasn't overwhelming at all. I grilled these on a grill pan & served with a caesar salad and some oven fries. Everyone in my family approved. Thanks!
