Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and dice onion into 1⁄2-inch pieces.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat (medium pot for 8 servings). Add beef and onion. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Carefully drain off any excess grease from pan. • Stir in bulgogi sauce, chili sauce, gochujang, ponzu, and 1⁄2 cup water (3⁄4 cup for 8). Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, 2-3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, toss mixed greens with dressing until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toast buns if desired. Fill buns with beef and onion. • Divide sandwiches and salad between plates. Serve.
Ground Meat is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was a great meal. Our kids even liked it. There was way too much sauce for our liking (probably could have halved it) and as much as the buns were nice and soft, this meal could use a slightly more crispy bun. We found that the buns quickly became soggy. We julienned carrots and cucumber and chopped up cilantro for the top of sandwiches. That would be a nice addition. All in all a good way to start our subscription to this company.
This was delicious, it didn't get four stars because there's no way it would fill 8 buns and serve four. Very light and extremely underfilled buns barely made it to a 6-bun three servings. 4 buns and two servings would've been correct, a normal amount of filling like a Asian sloppy joe. There was the same amount of meat as in 2 burgers, how in the world does that equal EIGHT sandwiches?? I added extra onion to make it stretch further and still tossed two buns. I rarely feel ripped off by HF, please stop advertising this as "feeding a crowd" and it'll be a 4-star meal.
These korean inspired sandwiches are delicious. Tasty dish for sure but would prefer and different side option than salad
Honestly tasted like sloppy joes. Don't get me wrong, I loved them. The "mixed greens" were just spinach leaves. Would've liked for actual mixed greens.
The flavors in this dish were amazing, but the hot dog buns were NOT the right bread. It only took about 5 seconds for the buns to become completely soggy and fall apart, making it very difficult to eat. I suggest a heartier bun that can hold up to the sauce.
I added less of the gochujang so it wasn't that spicy but the sauce was fantastic. Picky little people could not get enough!
The salad didn't really fit, but the sandwiches were so good!
This was all right. I think we made about six or seven sandwiches and we ate all of them. I personally would've wanted something creamy with it like cheese or mayonnaise.
The side salad was a little blah. And I'd prefer bigger buns. Like 4 big buns instead of 8 little ones. Overall though it was good.
The flavoring is excellent very tasty, but by no means was this a big batch meal there is not enough meat for all eight rolls. You sent 20 ounces of beef, which is the same you send for regular meals of four.
