Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make sure to thoroughly press the bread into the cups before adding filling, to make sure there is room for all the burger toppings as well.
  • tip 2
    Make it your own! Instead of mustard or Sriracha, use barbecue sauce. And instead of American, use your favorite cheese.
