    WOW I would have never thought that a little mustard and olive oil would make the burgers SO moist!! What a fabulous recipe, and the onions are to die for!!

    I love this recipe, in fact, this is how I am making hamburgers on the grill from now on. We skipped the english muffins as the buns though, just used the regular ol' buns : The caramlized onions are AWESOME, so much flavor added to the burger, the onions were great all by themselves. Try this recipe on the grill, it is great.

    I made this for the first time this past summer, and now it's the one I use all the time. The carmalized onions really make it great! I haven't use premium beef yet, just ground beef - 93/7 - from the grocery store. But I do everything else Ina says and these melt in your mouth.
    Not handling the meat too much and compacting it is key.They may be a tiny bit crumbly, but use a good spatula and no worries. These are great with muenster cheese!

    I've followed the recipe for the patty as stated, but halved it because I only had 1 pound of meat. I used organic ground beef 85/15 from Costco and it came out SO delicious. I didn't even do the carmelized onions nor the english muffins and it came out superb! This is by far THE best burger recipe. Be sure to use lean ground beef otherwise, it will come out oily. Love your recipes, Ina!

    The onions really make this burger! We skipped the english muffins but will perhaps try that next time.

    I will never make them any other way again! Using a fork and forming the patties nice and loose is a real key here. I also grate in a small onion. SUPERB!

    WOW! These were terrific! I am not usually a huge fan of burgers, but my husband and I could not say enough about how great these were! I didn't use English muffins, but instead used sandwich flats and toasted them. What a great tasting and easy recipe!!

    My college-age son has just been learning to cook so he can take some recipes with him to school. He found this recipe and printed it out and made us dinner. We LOVED this burger. It's so moist. We used a good hamburger bun from the bakery instead of an English muffin and brushed it with some butter and grilled it before adding the burger; it was delicious. Onions are a great finish!! He has made these for his housemates several times. This is a keeper in both of our recipe books!

    I am not one for fru-fru burgers...so this was a bit of a reach...but the English muffin was great, the burger is incredibly moist, and the onions....superb. My friends and husband thought these burgers were the best they had ever had. Super easy! I can't get Niman Ranch beef in Charlotte NC but I hit up the Harris Teeter and got some Naturals, 90/10 beef from the butcher area. I've never had Niman ranch...but if it actually makes this burger better....I'd be in shock. This burger was perfect. Enjoy!!!
