These got high marks from my family. I prepared 4 the day I mixed them up. I probably filled each with too much cream cheese (I hate leftovers, and it makes considerably more than 8 T filling), but I got them closed after a struggle. I made the first batch in the Foreman clone (which I wouldn't recommend since it squished all the filling out). The second batch froze and thawed beautifully. I panfried them and didn't lose the filling. And everyone thought they were really "cool." I might experiment with a spice mixture so I can ditch the sugary soup mix, but other than that, these are perfect! Oh, and I forgot to buy green onions, but I'll definitely add them next time.

5 star all the way. I used cream cheese with sundried tomato. I found that by making each pattie 1/2 inch thick that the hamburgers were too fat (1") & stubby so I made each 1/4 inch thick ending up with a 1/2" hamburger filled with the cream cheese mixture. Loved the flavor from the herb/garlic soup mix. I topped the burger with lettuce tomato & cheese, grilled mushrooms on the side and Baking stone fries - terrific Saturday night dinner. Thanks Tish loved this recipe

Loved it! I didn't have green onions so I used a white onion. The filling was so creamy and savory, with the slightest hint of sweetness. I served it topped with sauted porcinis.

I didn't pay attention while making these burgers and just mixed everything together. Everybody liked them anyway. Next time I will remember to make a filling instead and try them that way.

These were really good - I had extra cream cheese spread, so we'll use it on bagels with salmon for brunch.
