While I was making these, I kept thinking, the end result had better be worth it because they are rather time consuming and messy. Just bit into one and yes it was well worth it. They taste amazing. I used sliced baby bella mushrooms because they are meatier and I didn't feel like lighting the grill so I broiled mine on high for 5 minutes each side.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"08\/01\/2012 22:22","GUID":"17C9271439F844358B93C693DC5308E0","MemberId":635464,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"voodoowitch","SubmittedDate":"08\/01\/2012 22:22"},{"Comment":"
We thought this was especially good! I added a little garlic powder and garlic salt instead of plain salt. A treat! I also spread some BBQ sauce on top as I was grilling.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"07\/08\/2012 22:43","GUID":"443c7c2057994192ba34bbcad66de8e8","MemberId":2698812,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"kshea","SubmittedDate":"07\/08\/2012 22:44"},{"Comment":"

Made these last night. They are ausome!!! My husband never likes to try new things. We had company over so he was forced to eat them. He couldn't get over how good they were. YIPPY The only thing I did differnet was made them in the morning, wrapped each one in clear wrap and cooked them on the grill that night and used different cheese. I think letting them sit like that let the flavors really blend. My Husband wants to have company over again and make them again.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"06\/17\/2011 20:21","GUID":"f593d645c645462c8f68ef648163afa4","MemberId":3767197,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"dominoes","SubmittedDate":"06\/17\/2011 20:21"},{"Comment":"

I'm pleasantly surprised! I'm not normally a burger lover but this is definitely one for the books. I left out the mushrooms and diced the onions... other than that I stuck to the written recipe. I think it would be good to try olives or mushrooms in it, but its not lacking any kick with just bacon, cheese, and onion.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"05\/31\/2010 21:23","GUID":"453d90a0a2224939b3c22d5b06669440","MemberId":3265267,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"HisVictoriah","SubmittedDate":"05\/31\/2010 21:23"},{"Comment":"
I haven't made this recipe yet, but I will pare it down some. I will use bacobits, fresh mushrooms, etc., but skip the bacon grease sauteing, using olive oil instead. I will use 2% grated cheese, and sandwich thin buns. I will also use egg substitute. That would make it about 6-7 points ea., estimated, for Weight Watchers.<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"05\/31\/2010 10:13","GUID":"b92f2fa524a9404a84aadce9d69bf4bb","MemberId":1786018,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Mamasuejean","SubmittedDate":"05\/31\/2010 10:13"},{"Comment":"
I cooked this for Sunday Lupper (mid afternoon meal) and got rave reviews with requests to make it again soon. I left off the onions and used Sandwich Rounds instead of Buns also used baby spinach leaves with the burgers.

Excellent recipe! I agree, use fresh ingredients. Thanks for reminding us that horseradish goes great with beef - I doubled the amount. These burgers are great to have without the bun seeing as most of \"the works\" are tucked inside - with various salads on the side.

This is similar to a number of \"stuffed\" burgers that our family has tried before, and it's quite good, but when they called it \"Paul Bunyun,\" I was hoping for some kind of \"blue ox\" burger, or some special ingredient out of Minnesota, as long as it's not lutefiske!

When my boys were not so \"Paul Bunyan\" size, I pared down a very similar recipe. I used ketchup, mustard, half a cheese slice and some steak sauce inside and stretched a pound of meat to make 4-5 servings.
