I'm not sure what went wrong, but my burgers turned out really dry. Maybe I overcooked them?

Not a fan. The burgers were dry and the sun-dried tomato mayonnaise was too tangy.

These burgers were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra seasoning next time.

I love the idea of using sun-dried tomatoes in mayonnaise, but I found the flavor to be a bit overpowering. I think I'll try using a smaller amount next time.

A bit too dry for my taste. Maybe next time I'll add some extra mayo or cheese.

These basil burgers were a hit at our last BBQ! The sun-dried tomato mayonnaise added a tangy creaminess that perfectly complemented the savory patties. Will definitely be making these again!
