Too spicy for me and the kids. My husband said they were okay.

Re: The Perfect Hamburger

I plan to try this recipe this weekend with only one change. I will try replacing the chili sauce with BBQ sauce. Hope it works out or I'll be in for some "not so good" reviews from those whom I will be using as "guinea pigs".

Made these for the hoilday. They were quite tasty. I made up the patties early in the day so the flavors had time to meld. Topped them with slices of cheddar, bacon and lettuce.

I'm sorry, but horseradish mixed with hamburger meat just seems wrong. I'm OK with the other ingredients.

We tried these last night and were disappointed. The meat was too mushy and there wasn't much taste.
