I have made this several times and taken for functions, it is always a hit and everyone wants the recipe. I add a can of refried beans to the hamburger mix and use taco sauce in place of the barbeque sauce. I also serve it with Frito Scoops.

Family & friends beg me to bring this appetizer to our get-togethers all year long. I sub ground turkey for the beef and it is amazing!

I made this for an appetizer for my daughter's

thirteenth birthday party It was a great hit with all ten guests!

I did omit the honey barbecue sauce and used medium hot salsa. Also instead of cheddar cheese I used mexican.

Thank you for this great appetizer!

I make this recipe often, people really like the meat in it. I generally sub taco sauce for the BBQ sauce.

This sounds so good and I am anxious to try it. I don't have the ingredients now so will get them and try it later.

Thank you.
