I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my burgers didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture. They were still edible, but they weren't great.

I'm not a big fan of chipotle, so I used regular ketchup instead. The burgers were still really good.

I followed the recipe exactly but the burgers turned out really bland. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I thought the balsamic onions were a bit too overpowering, but the rest of the burger was great.
