"I have no idea where the name came from but it's been in my family forever - my dad remembers my Grandma making this for him when he was a kid as a special "treat" supper! I've included the sauce recipe for the buns too - it just isn't the same without it!"

WOW! Your Grandma did really good with this! It is amazingly plump and juicy. I made for 2 burgers but got 4 out of the recipe. I did give a rough chop to the bean sprouts. Didn`t do the kaiser rolls and didn`t split in three. I`m the one that removes the bread as I eat. Sorry! I did give a brushing of Recipe #424837 for a little extra kick. These are a must make!!!! Thanks. Made for ZWT 6
