Quite good. A nice change from a regular burger. I didn't have the plain yogurt so I used mayo instead and the sauce was still very good. I will difinately be making it again.

These were delicious! My only changes were to use ground turkey instead of beef and add an egg to the mixture for moisture. Very good! Made these a couple months ago and am making these again tonight!!

I only added about a teaspoon on lemon juice but other than that, I followed the recipe to a T and the burgers and sauce were divine! Absolutely delicious...will definitely be on my normal rotation.
