    This was a very good burger. The addition of beer really puts it over the top. I cooked it on the inside grill and it was really delicious. I also prepared the red onion compote with good results. It was pretty tasty for a good change to the regular.

    My husband and I watched the show and these burgers looked so good that we went out for the ingredients and tried them that evening. The onion compote was so flavorful and sweet it is the only topping we used on our burgers. I don't like the taste of beer so I was skeptical but I loved the onion compote and will make this again. Also, I used the leftovers for the round 2 meatloaf and it was pretty good too!

    This was easy to fix and was a hit with my family. The compote goes well with steak too. Very tasty dish.

    My husband saw the show this morning and said how good this looked. So I got online and read the recipe. I had all the ingredients except I only had crumbled blue cheese and a sweet onion, so I substituted those instead, but it still turned out absolutely delicious. It was so easy and tasted so gourmet!

    I didn't enjoy the compote. I made as directed and love onion, but I wasn't a fan.

    My mouth has been watering since watching the program, I have finally gotten my red onion and my can of beer so I am on my way to the kitchen to cook these for supper tonight. I am a hamburger junkie so I just know these are gonna be really good. I am going to use blu cheese instead of what susan calls for waiting for the compote to cook. cant wait

    I saw these on tv this morning and had to make them tonight. Let me just say, they are as wonderful as they look!!! The burger was so juicy and it has a taste that makes it stand out from other burger i've ever eaten. I will never make regular burgers again, these have spoiled me. I didn't put the red onion compote on mine because I don't like onions but my dad loves them and he used the entire batch of it on his burger because he liked it so much, he said he could have eaten it with a spoon! Such a cheap meal too, I will make it again for sure.

    The cheese inside was gooey and absolutely delicious! The ale flavor really put it over the top for me.

    Sandra from Cambridge Mass - If you do YOUR research, you will see that a compote, although traditionally made with fruit, is made with other items as well. Compote isn't referencing the actual fruit, it's talking about the way something is cooked as well. When you make a compote, you are slow-simmering an item in a syrup. The most common syrup used is water, sugar, and spices. Now, if you actually look at Sandra's recipe, her onion compote, is made just like that. Compote's can be served warm or cold. These boards are for commenting on the food. And, before you go and make a statement, I would suggest a little researching yourself. The burger was WONDERFUL! I did use beef stock vs. beer because I didn't have any on hand. It was really good. I do want to try it next time with the beer though.
