Best ways to enjoy it
These Pull-Apart Bang-Bang Bacon Pepper Jack Burger Rolls are best served warm. Consider plating them with a fresh green salad or crispy fries for a complete meal. If you want to play up the Asian-inspired flavors, serve them with extra bang-bang sauce or a sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.
Keeping leftovers fresh
To store your leftover rolls, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. If you want to store them for longer, these rolls can easily be frozen for up to a month. Just make sure they’re fully cooled before wrapping them tightly and placing them in the freezer.
Helpful cooking tips
- If you like a little extra crunch, consider adding diced jalapeños or red onions into the beef mixture.
- Avoid overcooking the beef patties to keep them juicy; they will continue to cook slightly in the oven.
- Don’t skip on the bang-bang sauce—it’s the secret ingredient that elevates these rolls to the next level!
