Shelley: This is the recipe that Lauren talked about. They’re the perfect freezer meal: easy to make, easy to serve. They even have a SANE option (Some Assembly Needed Eventually) for your cooking day.
I love to eat these in the car. Pull the individually wrapped buns out of the oven and place in a paper bag. Pass them around the van when it’s time to eat. They’re an easy, inexpensive, healthier-than-fast-food, hot meal.
