Cindy’s Comments:

I helped run the Little League concession stands last year, which was no little feat considering our town has about 1,200 kids playing ball every week. I learned the "secret" recipe for the Beefburgers, which were the most popular sandwiches on the menu. I love to have batches of these in the freezer, because they are so easy to heat and eat. Plus, you're getting that concession stand taste without having to always eat at the ballpark or fork out money. It's great to keep warm in the slow cooker if your family has to eat in shifts between summertime activities like track, ball, dance, etc.
