Reviews
This burger has a great taste and presentation. I had cooked this a school. My Teachers and family liked it. i will cook this at home One day.
A great burger. I made the slaw (minus some of the sugar and it made for a great topping. I will definately make it again!
VERY nice flavor. I roughly cut this recipe in half for just DH and I, and still ended up with 4 decent sized patties. I topped then with a cayenne pepper & jalepeno cheddar cheese and also with the secret sauce… my husband LOVED it. I was a bit of a heifer myself and scarfed down my burger in seconds… will definitely make again. PS. Making an indent in the pattie really helps with cooking uniformily.
This is not just any hamburger it is a super tasty, delicious, and easy to make burger. I can’t wait to make this for my friends. It is 10 times better than the old hockey puck!
best burger there is followed recipe forgot to add bacon still very good will make again.
I was home so took the time to make home made hamburger buns 🙂
These burgers were great. There were only two of us so I used 1 pound of hamburger and halved all the other igredients, made three nice size burgers – my husband ate two!

I made this hamburger with ground buffalo meat. We think the flavor is better than beef. I followed the recipe exactly as written except for using the buffalo meat. It was absolutelly wonderful. I made her sweet and spicy slaw and put it on the bun and it was scrumptuous. Love your show.
This burger was the bomb I got the coleslaw from their book. It came out very delicious. I did every recipe from the show except the desert I did the coookies and cream cake. Thank you Gina and Pat! My oldest daughter who doesn’t really like to eat a lot passed on desert so she could finish her burger, onion rings and potatoe wedges she even ate some of her siblings.
Very good …. but wheere is the NEELYS BBQ SAUCE recipe and the NEELYS COLE SLAW recipe????
This is the best burger I have made in my life. The sauce is incredible, I used English muffins instead of buns. Love the Nealy’s and I definitely love this recipe.
