This was pretty decent, but eyeballing the hot sauce is terrible idea, please dont put hot sauce in your eyes unless you can tolerate spicyness

These were not bad, but.....and I am being very honest, as I like to rate recipes that I make truthfully. I found that the chili powder and Montreal Seasoning was overpowering. I also had a problem from keeping my patty from falling apart while cooking. I didn't make the fries, because I had mac & cheese with it. Thanks for posting.

This was our Sunday dinner and all I can say is "WOW"! I made only a couple of changes.... 1 tablespoon of chili powder to make it milder for my Dad and almost 3 year old twin granddaughters. I baked and tossed the Firey Fries which then seemed not too crispy so I put them back in the oven for another 10 minutes. Otherwise, followed the recipe with corn on the cob as another side and what a treat this dinner was! Thanks Robyn for posting this fantastic dinner recipe!

Wow. Look at the calories in these burgers! LOL It's also really dang good. But, I'll only make these once a year. Perfect FOOTBALL burgers! The fiery fries were also great and I will make those often! Thanks for sharing. :)
