  12. Serve warm on round sandwich buns with pickles, coleslaw, a fresh fruit salad, and your favorite dessert. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
