Enjoyed this very much. Used fried onions since I had them on hand instead of fresh. I prefer a thicker sauce, so next time won't add the water. Served with sliced red onion, tomato, and avocado. Thanks for sharing!

I didn't make the burger recipe, I made a chicken one that I make often, but it has been missing a good sauce. I just made the sauce and it was fantastic.

These are FANTASTIC! I made half the recipe and it was quite messy since there was so much sauce, but we wouldn't change anything next time lol. I also topped mine with roasted red peppers, which was a nice touch. I used reduced fat feta, egg white only, WW cream cheese, and fat free sour cream and Sandwich thins for the bun. They ended up being 8pts WW which is definitely worth it!

Delish! I suggest serving it w/ slice tomato & onion, plus some bitter lettuce. A nice change from the "traditional" burger.
