Not bad, and really easy. You could easily make it with salsa instead of ketchup instead. I can see how this would make a southwestern style sandwich that way, especially if you put in beans or corn instead of the pickles. I don't have buns of any sort in the house at the moment, so I froze the remaining meat by itself so I can assemble the sandwiches when I'm ready to eat them. There is nothing hard or time consuming about this recipe, which makes me happy. I had an open jar of bread and butter pickles with onion and red pepper, so I tossed in the onion and red pepper to make a sort of relish. Went well with this. Thanks for the recipe!

We made and ate these tonight. I actually served them on homemade hamburger buns. Worked for us. Bundled the leftovers and will freeze those. I may add fresh garlic next time and some cayenne for added kick. We used dill pickles and my husband really enjoyed this variety.

This was quick & easy. I used dill pickles and they added a nice kick to the taste. No leftovers on this one.

This recipe is great. I love the versatility. I use up little bits of onions, mushrooms, celery, peppers or whatever I have leftover in the fridge. My husband loves this recipe. Usually he will opt for fast food than to fix himself something, not when I have these in the freezer. It saved me so much frustration while working and taking night classes. Thank you so much!

This was pretty tasty. Instead of using the pepper sauce I used tapatio. I didn't use the same amount the recipe called for, for the pepper sauce. I just drizzled the tapatio on for taste. Very yummy and I will definately make this again!

I love the idea behind these (make-ahead) sandwiches. Easy to make, filling, and the kids loved 'em. If you like things a little spicy, try using Italian sausage instead of ground beef; we couldn't really notice the pepper sauce, and the flavor almost seemed to be 'missing' something...but was still good. You could play around w/the ingredients in this quite a bit and not really do any damage. After freezing the sandwiches for a week, we reheated them as directed, and they were still pretty good. Buns (although wrinkly-looking) were slightly crunchy on the outside, inside sandwich was soft and warm. Flavor improved the 2nd time; the taste of pickle and onion really helps. These are great for a quick bite or if you just want to throw something in the oven (2nd time around); a nice addition to your "freeze ahead of time" menu list. Thanks for sharing :)
