Does anyone have any feedback on this recipe? A host fixed it last night and said it was 'OK'. She said her husband thought it would be better as a sandwich mixture. Just wondering about other's thoughts
 
I luv this recipe and so has many of my hosts. In fact, just did it Tuesday night at a show and everyone loved it. The only thing I do different is I brown/drain the hamburger in the large micro cooker and add everything to the meat in that (mustard, ketchup & pickles). I represent it as a different spin on a Taco Salad.
 
I would say one of my all-time top 5 recipes. People LOVE it. I brown the burger in the saute skillet and mix the mustard/pickles/ketchep in the MFP. I usually sell a couple of those and Salad Berry Spinners with this recipe.

Sandi
 
I love it too and I am not a pickle fan (at least not in a sandwich) and definitely not a mustard fan (YUCK!). But they work in this recipe.
 
My family loves this recipe...Even the 13 year old picker eater...I usually add a little more mustard and ketchup to make it really moist. I did it at a show last week and everyone really seemed to like it too
 
I've done this at a few shows and initially people are hesitant, but then when they eat it, they really like it.
 
LOVE it...so easy...and delish! I always tell guests when I'm making it that it's a great way to use up leftover lettuce before it goes bad...and most people have these ingredients at home already...I know I do...so it's fairly inexpensive. Whenever I do make this at a show, everyone says increduloulsy "This really tastes like a cheeseburger!" LOL

Great idea! I never thought about using the large micro cooker. I always lug my 12"skillet, even though nobody is ever interested in purchasing one. Using the micro cooker means I can also leave my classic batter bowl home. That's a whole lot less weight in my bag :)

Question--do you bake the hamburger bun croutons in the oven on the bar pan?

I've been browning the meat and everything in the round baker...

Thank you for all the feed back. I share comments w/my customer. She said her dh used the leftover on a sandwich & loved it.
 
Yes, love it here, too -- and we do make it as sandwich as well. My family likes it better than a sloppy joe! :)
 
I love this recipe! I do the meat in the dcb (two years ago that's what it said to do in the s.b.). This is always my recipe for my "Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville" parties. Guests DO love it. It makes it fun because so many are like "I don't care for pickles, or mustard, or onions, etc" but they try it and then are "Wow! That's great! Tastes like an old fashioned McD's burger!"
