Useful swaps

  • Use gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps if needed.
  • Add sliced cheese during the final minute if dairy is welcome.

Why this is a good weeknight call

It keeps the cleanup to one main pan. The ingredient list stays focused, and the recipe has a clear stopping point instead of extra optional projects.
