     Great burger! I don't eat much eat, but who can resist the occasional burger during the summer? Using local grass fed beef, this was juicy and very satisfying. Loved the unexpected flavours of the fresh thyme and balsamic vinegar. - 7/17/12

     I love ground chicken breast instead and add just a dollop of Greek yogurt in the meat to keep it moist! - 6/21/13

     KARENDG -- I checked the full nutritional breakdown, linked below the Nutritional Info. Yes, the sandwich thin IS included. I routinely check the full breakdown for most recipes. - 6/21/13

     This was DEFINITELY awesome! I made a couple slight alterations: I used thick slices of Walla Walla sweets and carmelized them on the stove before forming the hamburgers around them. I also just used parsely instead of thyme. The balsamic is wonderful and not overpowering. - 7/5/13

     We don't usually like onions on our burgers, but cooked in the center was a nice surprise. Even with lean beef, the burger was juicy and full of flavor. Will definitely make again! - 6/27/13

     This is one of my newest favoritest (I don't care if they're not really words) recipes! This is the way I am making my burgers from now on! On the menu for tomorrow night, yum! I've tried with ground beef and turkey, equally delicious! - 6/25/13

     I also threw in a handful of shredded zucchini. Sounds ridiculous, but it was really good! - 6/24/13

     This burger is delicious! Love the spices/flavor and the onion inside! Has become our family favorite. Love it! - 6/21/13

     I had to leave out the onions, as I am allergic to them, but the rest of my family used them and loved them. I also added mushrooms and red and green peppers.
    We will definitely make them again. Thank You....... - 6/21/13

     Very tasty. The recipe as is = great. The recipe also inspires many alternative fillings and seasoning = even better. Sandwich thins for me, super awesome whole wheat buns for the rest of the family = easy accomodations. Works outside on the grill and inside on electric grill = all year around. - 6/21/13
  • KARENDG
     The sandwich thins are listed in the ingredients......are they also part of the nutritional information already Chef Meg?
    Thank you for this information. I am trying very hard to eat correctly and be accountable. ;)

     The burger was great but couldn't really taste the onion. I might try another type of onion with it next time. - 3/27/21
