Sausage-centered burger buns is a recipe that combines the tradition of home cooking with an innovative touch. Although its name may vary by region, in several Latin American countries they are simply known as "stuffed meat rolls" or "stuffed meatballs," while in Mexico and other places they are often called "special meatballs" or "meat rolls with chorizo." This recipe has roots in European cuisine, where similar dishes with stuffed meat have been prepared for centuries as a practical and tasty way to use different ingredients. The incorporation of ingredients like apple and clove reflects the influence of sweet and savory combinations that characterize many Latin American culinary traditions. Furthermore, this recipe is a perfect example of how cooking can be a cultural and family expression that adapts and evolves according to regional tastes and availability.

How to prepare Sausage-centered burger buns
To begin, mix the ground beef, chopped apple, green onions with stem, egg, and seasonings —including salt, cinnamon, and clove— in a large bowl until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
Then, divide this mixture into 10 equal parts to facilitate shaping.
Take each portion and form a roll around a browned sausage, making sure to seal the ends well so the filling does not escape during cooking.
Next, brown the meat rolls in a large skillet over medium heat, until they are well sealed on all sides.
Once browned, remove the rolls from the skillet and set aside.
Pour off all the fat from the skillet except for two tablespoons, which are needed to prepare the sauce.
Add the flour to the remaining fat and cook over low heat, stirring constantly to form a roux.
Cook until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, at which point you will add the instant beef broth and the water.
Heat the mixture until it boils, without stopping stirring to avoid lumps, and then reduce the heat to continue cooking.
Carefully return the meat rolls to the skillet with the sauce.
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to cook completely.
