Notes about this recipe

    We liked these well enough, but not as much as Chrissy's version, which is quite similar but somehow more flavorful. Granted, I had to make a bunch of substitutions: venison for pork, white miso for brown, red bell pepper for green, grape tomatoes for cherry. The mixture was so thick that I added a couple more Tbsp coconut milk. Served with cilantro and fried onions as suggested, plus the tangy cucumber salad, which was great with it - could see cutting it up smaller to use as a relish on these.

    I used ground chicken instead of ground pork, left out the bell pepper, and used ground chipotle instead of her roasted chili powder. I used whole milk for the milk option instead of the coconut milk. Couldn't see opening a can of coconut milk for 2 tablespoons. Son didn't like this at all. I enjoyed it was on a potato bun and the addition of the French's fried onions ( I used Wallmart brand).I also liked that the recipe uses fresh grape tomatoes. I added the cilantro as suggested for serving, but didn't enjoy it, so I took it off. I'm usually a cilantro fan but not on this. I ended up adding mustard and dill pickles on mine. It was ok.
