These were the best burgers bar none that I have ever had. They were thick, juicy and incredibly flavourful. I particularly like the addition of the liquid smoke. I had no trouble envisioning these cooked over the glowing embers a good hardwood fire rather than the urban electric BBQ that lives on my balcony. I appreciated your handling instructions as well, definitely a bonus in producing the look of the ultimate burger. I topped them with caramelized onions and nested them on home made buns...fantastic! Thank you Charlene.

Wonderful tasting burgers. I particularly like the addition of the Liquid Smoke which I believe puts these burgers over the top. They are juicy and full-flavored. All your hard work for the "perfect" burger paid off. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

Great burgers, but were very sloppy on the grill. Even after we brushed the grill with oil, they still stuck and a couple were falling apart. The taste made up for it though! Very good!

Charlene, dear lady, you have one excellent burger recipe. Your instructions were very specific and easy to follow. The burgers were so juicy and had an incredible flavor. Deserving of my highest praise and at least 10 stars. Huge thank-you.

I did mine on top of the stove but they were still wonderful. Thanks for posting.

Yumyum! These are WONDERFUL burgers. Very moist and just perfect. I did change the recipe a bit. I had about 1.5lbs of ground beef, so I cut down the ingredients just slightly, and also left out the butter (to cut out some fat) and the ketchup since the mixture was looking really moist already and I didn't want the patties falling apart later. I didn't have liquid smoke so I left that out as well, and used dried parsley instead of fresh. I also added lots of dried oregano and a bit of basil. I'll probably add even more next time since I love herbs. These burgers are great with even more dijon mustard on top!

These are wonderful burgers! The liquid smoke gave them an excellent flavor. I put my burgers in the freezer for a half hour and still had no problems with them staying together. Thanks Charlene..

These were the BEST burgers we have ever had! My family went nuts over them last night when I grilled them AND they had the leftovers for BREAKFAST this morning...yes, BREAKFAST! The only thing I changed was I had 2.7 lbs. of ground beef, so I used it all and I had no liquid smoke, so I used Smoky BBQ sauce (I got 12 burgers out of it). I have to admit, they are a bit hard to handle. Even with the extra meat, they were very wet. I am sure the freezing helps, but my meat was already frozen and defrosted, so I could not freeze them again. I did chill them before taking them out to the grill, but a couple still fell apart a little. I would suggest to anyone to make these from fresh ground beef and then freeze as the recipe directs. That said, I still think these were AWESOME. My family could not believe they did not need any condiments! Thanks for the recipe...I will never make them any other way OR buy the frozen ones preformed at the store.
