Cheeseburger Stuffed Buns

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Safeway. All opinions are 100% mine.

These super yummy cheeseburger stuffed buns are packed with beef, cheese, onions and wrapped in golden brown pizza dough. They’re easy to prepare and fun to eat while watching the game!

taste & texture

Soft and fluffy dough yields to a warm and satisfying beefy filling. Onions and seasoning add to that classic burger taste, and of course there’s cheddar cheese!

It’s a great handheld food to walk around with while tailgating or grazing for seconds.

shopping at Safeway

For this recipe, I headed to my local Safeway. In the deli, I picked up two packages of their Primo Taglio pizza dough, then grabbed some freshly prepared potato salad and coleslaw from the deli counter and an order of buffalo wings from the hot case.

In the produce department I shopped their fresh cut fruit bowls. There was a lot of variety like pineapple and strawberries, but I stuck with my favorite: mixed berries. Here, I also picked up a white onion (and chives for those cute football deviled eggs) for today’s recipe.

And after grabbing some Montreal steak seasoning, sesame seeds, eggs and cheddar cheese I hit up the bakery department for some awesome fudgy brownies to round out the meal!

If you’re unable to shop in store, Safeway also offers their convenient Grocery Delivery and DriveUp & Go™ service!

I shopped at my local Safeway, you can also find these quality game day treats at the other Albertsons Companies family of stores, including Albertsons, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Randalls, Shaw’s Supermarket, Star Market, and Tom Thumb.

Recipe inspiration and other game day ideas

This recipe was inspired by a local piroshky restaurant here in Seattle. Piroshkies are most often found in homes and markets in Eastern Europe, but they’ve found a second home in the Pacific Northwest with fun and interesting flavor combinations.

While this recipe is obviously not made with a traditional piroshky dough, I took the concept of their awesome hand pies and added the convenience of a premade dough. It’s still fluffy and delicious and the burger flavor really shines through.

These stuffed buns are the perfect addition to a party spread, especially when you’re short on time, and a great dish to make ahead for tailgating.

PS: I adapted those football deviled eggs from my pico de gallo deviled eggs. Make the eggs and filling as usual, add a sprinkling of paprika if desired, and instead of the pico de gallo, top with trimmed chives!

However you plan on watching your favorite sporting events this year, Safeway’s got you covered. Whether it’s their deli’s made in-store chicken wings and freshly-prepared deli salads, the bakery’s freshly-baked treats to satisfy your sweet tooth, or their Fresh Cut fruit bowls that make a convenient and nutritious addition to a fantastic gameday spread – they have everything you need to be the MVP of the kitchen.
