Piroshki Burgers Oh Yeah


These are delicious and different, and they actually freeze really well for an easy meal later. When freezing these, i freeze them after they've already been baked and cooled, then i just pop them in the microwave for a couple of minutes until reheated. you could also try other fillings, i like to also add a couple of shakes of italian seasoning to the filling while cooking. They are a favorite in my house, i hope you like them too.
