Basil Burgers image

Chopped fresh basil leaves add a welcome spark to these hamburgers and wonderfully capture the taste of summer. Grilling brings out the best flavors in the ground beef as well as the basil. They're a pleasant surprise at a family cookout.-Jennie Wilburn, Long Creek, Oregon

I found these burgers to be a bit dry. I think I would add some more moisture next time, maybe by adding some Worcestershire sauce or barbecue sauce.

I wasn't a fan of the basil in these burgers. I thought it was a bit too overpowering.

These burgers are a bit more expensive to make than traditional beef burgers, but they're worth it. The flavor is amazing!

These basil burgers were a hit with my family! The combination of basil, Parmesan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes gave them a delicious and unique flavor.
