"I love beef and these hamburgers are a nice change from the traditional burger. I serve these with a side salad topped with grated Mexican cheese and dressing and Spanish rice."

I love a good burger and your recipe was OUTSTANDING!!! The yummy pepper-jack cheese in the middle was delicious and spicy. I used all of your suggested embelishments and all I can say is WOW!! We are having friends over for a cook-out and I am going to make them again. Can't wait. Thanks Audrey M.

Very good as a burger; my proble was it staying together. Even tho I refrigerated them for about an hour to set the meat, they wanted to apart when they were turned. The taste, however, is excellent. Spicy and great flavors.

Left out the avocados, but followed the recipe otherwise. One of the best burgers I have eaten in a long time! DD agreed with me. She and I were the only ones home, so we made some whopping big burgers and indulged with plenty of napkins! We had with onion rings for a special treat!

Burger night at Bergy's was super tonight! Great recipe The only thing that I did different was to put Hot pickled peppers instead of the salsa on top of the burger along with the tomato, Avacado & sour cream, The cheese in the middle gives a surge of flavor. I sauteed button mushrooms as a side dish and served with a green salad. Delicious Thanks Audry M 1 April 07 Made your burger again and took a couple of pictures this time. I used cottage cheese instead of sour cream - Delicious burger thanks again Audrey
