Rated 5 out of 5 by Rosiecheex from I take it this recipe has been modified since it doesn't call for the bbq sauce to be mixed in. I take it this recipe has been modified since it doesn't call for the bbq sauce to be mixed in. I left out the bbq sauce altogether (my husband and I prefer it on chicken or pork) and I mixed in salt, pepper and balsamic vinaigrette to the meat, my husband grilled them and brushed the onions with the italian dressing and melted cheddar cheese on top of the burgers. These burgers were so juicy and tender and did not fall apart on the grill. I would definitely make these again

Rated 4 out of 5 by recipe 4 me from This is a very good recipe. This is a very good recipe. I make burgers similar to this recipe. I found out by trial and error the less sauce the better the burger will hold up. If it starts to fall apart adding some bread crumbs or a little oatmeal will help soak up some of the moisture to keep it together on the grill or stovetop. Add just enough sauce to flavor the meat. Maybe a tsp to a tsp and a half.

The taste of the burger was good, but as with the other 2 people who tried it, the burgers crumbled when I tried to flip them. Not being ones to waste food, we tried to eat them anyway, but it was more like a dry sloppy jo than any sort of burger. I even added a little egg in the hamburger to try to get it to stick, but no such luck.

Not only did my burgers fall apart, they burnt. I don't know if it was due to the fact that I could not control the temp (the insides were not overdone), or if it was the BBQ sauce mixed in. I don't think I'll waste my time on these burgers again. Sorry.

Few things: Don't mix the meat and bbq sauce too much, burgers won't stay together on grill. Any bbq sauce will do. I do recommend one on the sweeter side. Spread some of the italian dressing on the buns and also add some dijon mustard for a good flavor combo. Excellent taste, no additional salt needed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by chucks1stwife from I made this twice. I made this twice. The first time I followed the recipe and it was a disaster, the burgers fell apart and we had ground meat on a bun. The second time I added breadcrumbs an egg and the BBQ sauce to the meat but the sauce over powered the hamburger. Did Kraft really test this recipe?

Rated 1 out of 5 by rmlong77 from This is a terrible recipe. This is a terrible recipe. The burgers fell apart on the grill and I ended up taking the rest of the meat and making sloppy joes in the skillet. I was very disappointed and now have a big mess in my grill. If you want bbq sauce with your burger, put it on top after it cooks.

Rated 1 out of 5 by cgraff from We tried this on the grill and it fell apart as well. We tried this on the grill and it fell apart as well. I'm going to try again with bread crumbs and less bbq sauce. It got way too mushy with the 1/4 cup of sauce. Maybe Kraft can revise their recipe. What was left tasted great, but it really ruined our meal!
