Pookie, you have some of the best ideas and recipies....
If a stranger shows up at your door unannounced at dinner time.......Hi! ;D

Hi! I'm new here, so forgive me what is probably a silly question: what if you don't have a jelly roll pan? Can these be made without such a thing?

Natalie - I would think a cookie sheet would work. You'd probably want to put foil on it & make a little rim around the edges with foil so any fat that might render from the hamburger wouldn't drip off the cookie sheet.

I have a dumb question...the mashed potatoes: Is that just plain cooked & mashed potatoes? Or is it some kind of prepared mashed potatoes? Sounds yummy!
