This recipe is amazing! I'm not much of a cook but I mastered this one easily. Try it with ground turkey breast... still delicious! If you use the healthy life fiber for life light wheat hamburger buns, it's even healthier too =) I served them with broccoli slaw.05/21/09

These were wonderful. They were moist and juicy. Very flavorful and easy to make! We used Kraft Fat Free French dressing for the topping. I was a little worried about the amount of onions. I thought they might be too much but they were not. Will definitely make these again!07/29/06
