My Sister gave me this recipe to make for my kids, she told me it taste like a Mcdonalds cheeseburger and they will love it, especially my husband. I never did anything with it for months because I thought my kids don’t like or eat Mcdonalds! I finely made it and it was a huge hit. Great for kid parties! But I make my own bases and sauce, sorry sis.
