Reviews
I’ve had authentic muffaletta, and while it was tasty, it was almost too much. This recipe allows you to savor the distinctive taste without going into olive overload. My Fiance (who was born and raised in the south) absoloutely loves this recipe and requests Muffaletta Burgers for every BBQ!
