mini chimichurri burgers
I found this recipe in a grocery store checkout cookbook (Pillsbury Casseroles and Slow Cooker, Jan 2011). "Does it have chili powder", my husband asked suspiciously. "Yes, but just a little bit" (maybe I overuse chili powder, lol). But, when all was said and done, he went back for more and asked if we could make it again! We're going to try to make it regular hamburger bun size, though. We'll see!
