Absolutely delicious! I used what I had in my pantry--Jasmine rice (1 cup), 1 can of petite-diced tomatoes (as I believe 2 cans would be too much), some dry Italian seasoning, and an 8oz can of tomato sauce. I reduced the butter to 2 tablespoons. Rice definitely doesn't need to be microwaved for entire 10-12 minutes in the last step. It turned out creamy and very flavorful. Family loved it! I did add a few tablespoons of water after cooking.

Burgers were very moist, and I loved the pesto flavor. I did cut down the seasoning salt to 1 tsp total and used sundried tomato basil feta cheese with good results. I agree with a previous reviewer that there is possibly too much filler (i.e., breadcrumbs) in the recipe, so I may decrease it to 1/4 cup next time I prepare these; however, they did hold together nicely on the grill. My husband asked me to save this recipe, which means it definitely was a winner in our house!
