Definitely a 5 star hamburger! Very juicy and tasty. I used the new black pepper that has Worcestershire sauce in it. DH had a slice of cheese on his. He's a lucky guy. But I enjoyed mine with red onions, dijon mustard a touch of relish and some hickory barbecue sauce. Yummmm... Thanks for posting. Made for PAC Fall 2008. :)

Grilled these on the George Forman grill and they turned out really good. A charcoal grill would've been even better, but at least the extra fat drained so they were even healthier. The men in my family weren't too excited about eating Weight Watchers burgers, but they loved them! I also baked some sweet potato slices, using the WW potato chip recipe on here, only using sea salt instead of table salt. SO GOOD! It was a big hit with the fam.

The patties had a nice garlicky flavor & were moist even after cooking on a foreman grill. I served on buns made from Cheesy Jalapeno Bread (Abm) and with sweet potato oven fries.
