Review:
This recipe was easy and quick to make. And the taste was spot on. It uses mostly ingredients that I keep on hand so it would be great to make in a pinch of company decided to stop by. It could easily be doubled or tripled for a larger size group or family. It can also be seasoned however you like to season the meat for your bacon cheeseburgers. The ingredient list is very short so you don't have to have a lot to prepare this meal. It was very yummy and we will definitely be making this again.
