I am glad I cooked a little 'tester burger' first before adding the water as the water addition just didn't make sense to me. I could only taste the onion soup mix and hot sauce. This was just too much like a meatloaf sandwich.

I cut the recipe in half for 1 pound of lean ground beef (90/10). I didn't bother with the water, I just didn't see the point. I added a little extra dijon mustard, ketchup, and Frank's red hot. These came out very moist and delicious. I served these on toasted rolls with thin sliced red onion and melted american cheese.

My husband enjoyed these burgers...left out the water and added extra ketchup and mustard. We cooked them on the bbq and topped them with what we wanted. (Used American cheese and tomatoes...didn't have green onions or avocado, although I'm sure that would have been good.)

These were really good. I added a few dashes of worsheshire sauce, but other than that didn't change a thing. I served with sliced tomatoes, avocados, onions, pickles and lettuce. I had french fries on the side.

We really liked these burgers. I would give the recipe 5 stars with the changes I made. Seems to me they would have been a bit bland had I followed the recipe exactly as written, thus the 4 star rating. However, that's my personal opinion. I like my food to have alot of flavor, so here's what I did...I cut the recipe in half as I was only feeding 2 people. I used a whole envelope of onion soup, 2 tsp hot sauce, 1/4 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp each ketchup & mustard, and added 1 can diced green chilis, as used in the firecracker burgers found on this site. We cooked these on a charcoal grill and topped them with sliced pepperjack cheese. They came out delicious! Great burgers for the fourth! Will definitely be making these again. Thanks for sharing!

These burgers are great! Definitely a keeper! I increased ketchup and mustard amounts slightly and I was amazed at how tasty they are. Thank you!

Delicious! Whenever I make these for my friends and family they just LOVE them! I leave out the hot pepper sauce and let my guests pick the type of cheese that they prefer.

This recipe is delish as is. They are the best homemade burgers. My kids had friends over the night we made them and they said they tasted like a burger from a restaurant. When youre making the patties big, after you formed them make a indentation in the center of the burger with all your fingers (kind of like a birds nest) this way when you cook them on the grill they wont shrink. They will stay the same size and they wont dry out. You wont be disappointed.
