I rolled home the other day with a pound of freshly gound beef chuck under my arm, ready to make the boys some burgers, they love burgers. After putting my things down I checked the food stuffs for hamburger buns, no buns. See, personally I can take or leave buns for home made burgers. We didn’t have them when I was growing up, just didn’t seem to matter either way. But our boys care, they love their burgers & dogs on buns. This of course, in no way means they’ll EAT the buns, but they’re there just in case. What to do? Hmm, we had hamburger meat and I found some hot dog buns. Hamburger meat and hot dog buns, oh dear.

I was snickering the entire time I made these, I was having fun with meat once again. At first I started with 1/4 pound for each dog and they came up too small, not enough to fill the bun, considering shrinkage. So I tacked on some more, done.

You gotta be careful with these or they’ll break REAL easy. So, I would recommend only turning them when absolutely necessary and using two spatulas to do so. And that is pretty much that. I would have done up a fancy one for ya, but the kids were hungry and this one here was for Big Z.
Speaking of himself, he loved the idea and smiled during his entire meal. I suppose I’ll do this again some time, it was a lot of fun and it really shouldn’t matter what shape the burger is in as long as you have a bun, eh?

ps – Tiny E did not eat his bun, nope.
