Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

“I added some dried parsley flakes to the mixture and some grated Parmesan cheese to the bread crumb coating,” says CookinLovin. “Served on French-style buns with lettuce, mayo, and honey mustard and a side of onion rings. YUM!”

“Really simple and quick — dinner was ready way earlier than I'd planned,” says Rusty Brown. “Came out great! The cooking instructions of 5-6 minutes per side were just right.”

“They were the best burgers we have had in years,” raves beulah. “The only change I made to the recipe was to not use breadcrumbs but instead to use ground up crackers. The grated onion makes all the difference. I put in a little bit of fresh parsley and they were heavenly!”
