REVIEWS:

This was really quick, easy and delicious!! I also tried it with a mix of venison and ground beef, that worked just as well.

I made these but shaped as regular burgers & buns. I added kraft cheese to it but did not have the beef au jus gravy. The garden vegetable cream cheese is amazing!
