Well, this is my second attempt to review this, apparently the other one did not go thru. This is a great burger, we LOVED the sour cream sauce, the horseradish is perfect!! I did not have any dill, I used some Montreal Seasoning. Also, used Iceberg lettuce, slices of red onions and fresh tomatoes from the garden when building the burger. O, also used a yellow xtra sharp cheddar instead of the white. Thanks for posting.

Bobble head betty (aka: Rachel Ray) is corny, but she really has some great recipes, and this is no exception. Definitely a wow factor in this burger. I didn't make 1/2 lb burgers though, just 1/4 pounders. The horseradish was perfect and just the right amount. I used cilantro instead of the parsley (bad eyes at the grocery store, didn't read, lol), but that really made it yummy, so it came out to be a good error. I too used iceberg lettuce (on hand). Buddha said the sour cream sauce reminded him of tzasiki sauce and he would like swiss on it, I thought it was perfect as is although thin sliced red onion and a fat sliced tomato would be good with this too, it's a burger after all, choice of toppings unlimited. Will definitely make these again, Go BHB! Thanks for sharing the recipe Boomie. :)
