  1. QUESTION – once the burgers/sliders are mixed and formed into patties do you think you could freeze them for a later date? These sound great and I would love to take them on vacation but we usually don’t have a food processor. If I could freeze them and take them with…then thaw, bake and enjoy would be GREAT!

    1. Hi Dianne, you definitely could. I would suggest baking them in advance and freezing them. Then you can thaw them and reheat them in the oven or a pan for a quick dinner!
