Had Spanish hamburgers at school and the lunch counter at the hardware store. Loved them and it’s also delicious as a coney sauce

That is so cool! I have been wondering if my MIL made that name up!

@@cindyoconnellHealth there’s a food show I watched about sloppy joes that mentions Spanish hamburger in the list of alternative names and I found an article about a guy’s search for the name which he found still being used on a menu

Very interesting and good to know! I did find a couple of RUclips videos on it too, but only a couple and very low views.

Yum have to try 🎉

Thank you so much for watching and I really hope that you enjoy them as much as I do!

Was curious, if you like the recipe so much why has it been 15-20 years since you’ve made it ?

[@cindyoconnellHealth]

That's a good question! I think I just sort of forgot about them for a long time. Sooo good though. I'm glad I pulled this recipe out again!
