Aunt Weezie's Fun Buns (Oamc, Make Ahead, Freeze)

Submitted by TheDancingCook

"These are similar to a sloppy joe or a cheeseburger and this recipe is written specifically to make ahead and freeze until you want them.

I omitted the pickles and used onion powder (very picky kids) but these were fantastic! I made them OAMC and they were great that way. A nice filling snack in a hurry. I've also made them up just adding the cheese to the other ingredients once they were cooked and letting it melt right in. These are great! Kids loved them. I loved them. Everyone I've ever fed them to has loved them! Thanks for the recipe.

These are very good. I did substitute the cheese with Montery Jack.

Very good blend of flavors. My only modification was subbing cheddar for muenster as that's what I had on hand. Did this for OAMC. I baked them for 25 min with the centers still quite cold. Probably just my oven, but I may increase the temp to 375 next time. Thanks for posting!
