The burgers were a little sloppy, so next time I will add a binder, such as seasoned bread crumbs. The taste is superb!

This is now a family favorite. Plus, as with all the Kraft recipes it is soooo easy and quick to make. I LOVE IT!

Out of this world! Be sure to dice the tomatoes finely. Great on the grill. My husband won't eat other types of hamburgers now!

Very flavorful and delish...I suggest using more hamburger or less of the fillings. We had trouble making patties out of them and there was not much meat.

These were so juicy and filling. The added mushrooms and cheese made the 1/4 pound burger seem alsmost as big as a 1/2 pound, but it wasn't all meat! My husband was satisfied with one, and he ususally eats two burgers when they are 1/4 pound. I loved the tomato-basil mixture.

I added onions in the meat as well and they were great. It is an easy recipe and very tasty. Everyone enjoyed the burgers they were not dried out. We even had some extra for lunch the next day and again they were not dry. I'll make this often.
