These beef patties and sauce were delicious. I didn't vary any ingredients from the recipe. I thought the seasoning was in good balance. This was my first time to make Chimichurri sauce and we thought it had a wonderful spicy fresh flavor that was a good compliment to the beef. I might try grilling the patties next time just to see how that turns out. Thanks for another great recipe.

I wonder how many of your recipes I have tried and loved? This is no exception. I made a mistake but it worked out really well. I poured the Chimichurri sauce over the burger as it was cooking, covered the pan and let it finish cooking - wonderful flavor. I also used whipped cottage cheese instead of sour cream. Excellent Saturday night burger served with Baking Stone Oven fries , onion/tomatoe side salad and sauteed mushrooms. Thanks for another wonderful recipe Dorothy
