I thought this seemed so odd but had to try it anyway. I'm glad I did! Very juicy and didn't fall apart. I did let the mixture sit, covered, in the fridge for about an hour as others mentioned. The flavors melded together wonderfully! We could taste both meats and loved it! I've had requests for these again, and my family never asks to have anything. I always have to decide what to make on my own, so it's a nice change for something to be requested! Great job Bill and keep your wonderful recipes coming!

I don't know what everyone is raving about. You can DEFINITELY taste the tuna in these burgers. Mine also didn't turn out very moist, just a very dense, dry burger that stunk like tuna when reheated. I put everything together like it said, but something went wrong. I won't be making these ever again - a waste of tuna and hamburger.

The burgers weren't 'bad', but not homeruns (as my husband likes to say). I think we'll stick with Montreal Chicken Seasoning for our burgers.

After one bite my family refused to eat any more. Tuna does not goe well with burger, it tasted too fishy.

I tried these because of all the rave reviews. But though the burgers were moist, we didn't really taste anything extra special about them.
