This recipe was delicious! I added a tablespoon of soy sauce to the meat mixture and used sliced white onions I had on hand. I eliminated the cheese to reduce the calories, and quite honestly, it wasn't missed in terms of flavor. Definitely a keeper! Thanks KelBel!

Fabulous tasting burger! I will definitely prepare these again! They were wonderful the way suggested, but would also taste great with sauteed mushroom, onion and pasta sauce. Yum!

Juicy and delicious. Wouldn't change a thing and especially liked them grilled.
