I developed these 'fun buns' about 20 years ago when our four children were preteens, explains Marie Hass from Madison, Wisconsin. Once they started high school, I kept some in the freezer for quick suppers when after-school activities kept them from eating with the rest of the family. Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds ground beef |
3/4 cup chopped onion |
3/4 cup ketchup |
3/4 cup chopped dill or sweet pickles |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
12 hot dog buns, split |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the ketchup, pickles, salt, pepper, garlic powder and pepper sauce; heat through. Stir in cheese.
2. Place about 1/3 cupful on six buns; serve immediately. Cover and refrigerate remaining meat mixture until cool.
3. Fill the remaining buns; wrap individually in heavy-duty foil and seal tightly. Freeze for up to 3 months.
4. To use frozen sandwiches: Bake in foil at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 1 dozen.
