     onion listed twice - think you meant tomato - 8/18/14

     You can save 20+ carb grams if you leave off the carb heavy bun and eat all the rest of the burger. That's what I'd do. - 1/19/16

     I am questioning serving size, 1pound of lean burger does not make 6 servings. But overall taste was good - 1/24/17

     Definitely a tomato in this burger not listed. Also I am questioning the 6 servings for a lb of burger. No way the burger would look thick and nice like this. The ingredients definitely make a wonderful burger. I also would cut 1/2 the bun to save some carbs, fat and calories for later. - 12/7/16

     These sound more like sliders? I like the idea but it's not a big enough burger for a meal. - 12/7/20

     Too much fat. If I'm going to have cheese, I have to cut the amount of beef down. I can have either guac or bacon but not both. - 8/2/20
