From R. Reisman. I used sun-dried tomatoes in oil and added a bit more breadcrumbs. This burger is soooo good!! :) I love the little sauce that goes with it too!!

I made the burgers without any BBQ sauce or Ketchup because I don't use either. Even so I was surprised at how moist the extra lean meat was. On a whole wheat bun with fresh spinach leaves, onion and a thick tomato slice it was very enjoyable even with no sauce. Excellent use of ground beef, it has character and plenty of flavor.

Absolutely an award winning burger! I tend to not tamper with cooking the basic hamburger, but, this was a delightful twist, and full of flavor! I don't eat ketchup...just donn't like it....so I went the BBG route. This is great!

This is a delicious, well seasoned burger. I made it using the rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes and a honey barbecue sauce. The burgers were cooked on the George Foreman grill along with some thick sliced onions. Something I will be making again!
