I made this yesterday and my very skeptical husband said, 'delicious' & was impressed with how well they stayed together. I used hulled barley & would prepare ahead of time, next time because it takes 45 min. to cook. I baked the burgers, on 400 F, 10 min each side, delicious! - 10/29/15

This recipe is just awesome! Love it! I made these using my little DASH grill. I used 1/4 cup to each burger and cooked in the grill for 6 minutes. Results were perfectly uniform burgers, beautifully browned, I got 8 burgers instead of 4, reducing calories per burger! Made enough for freezing. - 4/15/19
