    This was very good! I shaped them into hamburger sized patties and used a generous amount of cooking spray instead of olive oil (and doubled the cooking time). Kids loved them. Will definitely be making again. Thanks for the recipe! - 6/7/10

    It's tasty but mine seemed a bit "wet" and flattened out while cooking. - 10/1/12
