Grilled Cheese Test Jan 21st, 2023
You betcha! Made 3 grilled cheese sandwiches, 1 each of Cheddar, Mozza & Swiss, put 1/3 of sausage patty on each and filled the rest with bacon, All 3 were really good!
Chopped w/ Scrambled Eggs Test Jan 25th, 2023
Took 2 Coriander style patties, chopped them up (Precooked), mixed in with 3 scrambled eggs and some cheddar cheese. It was edible but not that good. Sausage was too spicy for the mix.
