Reviews
I love these burgers so much but you have to be sure to let them sit for the recommended time in your refrigerator. so much flavor in every bite and i make them in regular size pattys as well. Family favorite!
Never had them. Love them, they were easy and very moist and tasty.
Being of cuban decent and eating Fritas all my life, this recipe wasnt reminisent except for the cuban roll. The main ingredient in a frita is chorizo a spanish sausage. Then mixed with ground beef, onions and put picnic shoestring potatoes on top Delicioso!!!
I am not a big beef eater and don’t eat much meat, but these little burgers were just enough for me and tasted like a little gormet meatloaf. Hubby says, “Excellent”!
I made these burgers for my daughters birthday party. Everyone went crazy for them. They were so moist, like a meatloaf!! Definately a party pleaser for kids and adults. I am making the burgers for New Years and will put various cheeses on top to dress it up.
Definately Delicioso!!
I loved this recipe. The burgers are full of flavor! they are juicy and delicious. After forming each burger, place them in the fridge for at least 45 minutes, just like the recipe says, so that they dont fall apart when cooking them.
the soup deliciosa and the burgers out of this world
Unfortunately, these had entirely too much breadcrumbs. My husband and I looked at each other and said”tastes like meatloaf. We hate meatloaf.
it was so good
These are the easiest and best burgers I have ever made, at parties these are the burgers everyone wants me to fix!!
