Notes
For added crunch, consider adding shredded cabbage or carrots inside the sandwich. If you have leftovers, store the beef mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the buns separate to maintain their texture. You can prepare the beef mixture ahead of time and reheat it before serving.
