Bonzai Burger (From Red Robin Restaurant)

Submitted by NorthwestGal

"I found this recipe on the recipegoldmine website. It was submitted by GayleL, which she attributes the original source as Steven Brummer with Red Robin Restaurants. The Bonzai Burger is my favorite burger when we go to that restaurant. I have also broiled the beef patties with equal success, so you can still have your favorite burger even when rainy weather makes grilling impossible."

This burger is so good and tastes like the ones at Red Robin!! I used recipe#397183 for the sauce and made as written. It was juicy, drippy-messy just like the original! Will be making these again!! Made for PRMR.

Wow...yummy doesn't even cover it. This was so good! I love this burger from Red Robin but had never even thought of recreating it at home. I made as directed except I was out of tomato and forgot all about the lettuce :( It was still delicious though! It was definitely worth the drip-down-my-hands mess! Thanks for posting!
