I've done a few variations since first making these.... cheeseburger, BBQ chicken, pizza, ham & cheese, taco and I even did a spaghetti one. (Ever since I was a kid, I've taken bread, piled my spaghetti on it & folded it in half to make a sandwich!) MAKE-AHEAD TIP: Prepare and cook buns as directed. Cool for 30 minutes; wrap in heavy foil and freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, leave the frozen buns in foil wrap. Bake in 325°F. oven about 40 minutes or until heated through.
