“I often end up with a bumper crop of basil and here’s a favorite way to use some of it. These burgers feature great Italian flavor. And who can resist their gooey, cheesy centers or the scrumptious topping?” —Virginia Kochis, Springfield, Virginia

i haven't made this and well i am not sure i will as it is written. recently i have been put on a 1500mg sodium intake and well with this being 800+ i just cannot justify having it as this alone would be half my daily allowed intake....so i ask how is this healthy?

EXCELLENT! Next time I'll chop basil more finely.I had sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil but it was very good anyways.

I used 1 pound of hamburger and some basil from my garden. I made 3 burgers. Unfortunately, I forgot the sun-dried tomato mayonnaise in the fridge until after dinner but there was so much flavor I didn't miss it. Will definitely make again.

This burger was delicious! My husband, who puts ketchup on EVERYTHING, (especially bugers) didn't even ask for it tonight! That speaks volumes to the taste of this burger. It was packed with flavor even without the sundried tomato spread on top! This will be our new burger recipe!
