this was a really good recipe, i left out the garlic powder, and used real garlic, it was a little salty, next time i will cut back onthe salty spices. we will always make this mix whenerver we grill burgers again

I served this recipe a month ago, and it was very good. We're doing it again tonight. The only changes I made were to go light on the herbs & spices--about half the asked-for amounts. And no salt at all. The onion soup mix and soy sauce add all that's needed.

The name is absolutely perfect! This was the tastiest, juicy, moist burger I've ever had! I used 1/4C. dried onion instead of fresh (didn't have one), and changed nothing else. I love garlic, but don't like too much onion and still thought it was perfect. Didn't think the onion was too strong at all, and loved the flavor combo of the herbs. I also never had a problem with them falling apart as some others mentioned. I used a George Foreman grill and had no problems. They may have tasted more like meatloaf than hamburgers, but that's because most hamburgers are too dull! My husband and I each had 2 and my grandmother had a whole one instead of maybe half as is usual. They are great! We will definately be having these again soon-Bravo!!
