Burger Bite Appetizers

With Christmas coming up I like to think of recipes that I can make ahead of time and freeze, so I am not in the kitchen so long over the Christmas week. This is one of my Mama's recipes. I just love these burger bites and they really are a hit at holiday parties. Again these are vegetarian, I have never made them with real burger, but you are more than welcome to try it and let me know how it goes.

Burger Bite Appetizers

Ingredients:

2 boxes of Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets
1 20 oz can of Veggie Burger (Loma Linda)
1 c. Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 tsp. Onion powder or 1/3 cup minced onion
1 1/2 tsp. Bar-B-Que Seasoning
3 Eggs

Method:

1) Mix all ingredients together and let sit for 5 minutes.




2) Open up pastry sheets and cut apart.



3) Place mix in the middle of sheets and fold over.




4) Use a fork dipped in water to press the ends of the pastry together.



5) Cut into bite size pieces.

6) Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. (Watch so the bottoms won't burn, anything more than 15 minutes may burn).



Serve immediately or wait until they are completely cool and to place in a freezable container. I usually make mine about 2-3 weeks ahead of time. They still taste great when I re-heat them in the oven.



This is what Juliana and Olivia were doing as I was baking these burger bites.
