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

Just ok. The burgers were a bit bland and the basil didn't really add much flavor.

Not a fan. The basil was overpowering and the burgers were dry.

These burgers are the best! Juicy, flavorful, and so easy to make. I've made them several times and they're always a hit. Highly recommend!

Meh. The basil flavor was too strong for my taste. I prefer a more traditional burger.

Delicious! I added a bit of garlic and onion powder to the mix and they turned out perfect.

These are so easy to make and they're always a hit with my family. I like to serve them with grilled vegetables and a side of tzatziki sauce.

Not bad. The basil doesn't overpower the other flavors, but it's definitely noticeable. It's a good way to change up your burger routine.

These burgers were amazing! The basil added a really unique and flavorful twist. I also loved the texture of the burgers - they were so juicy and tender. Will definitely be making these again!
