Take That, Arby's

Luckily for me and a million other people who are gonna be driving down the road this holiday, blindly searching in their Arby's bags for non-existent Bronco Berry sauce.  I have found a copy cat recipe  - waaahhhhhh-kaaaaaaaa ! ! !  This will be perfect for the poppers I make from our garden in the summer.  It would also be good if you mixed some cream cheese and jalepeno's into hamburger and made a burger out of it, or as mom says, "a hamburger sandwich".  Or as Dr. Goodenberger yelled at me in the lab one fine day, "MY NAME IS SPELLED JUST LIKE THE FOOD".............ummmmmm, no it's not, because your name is spelled "bErger", not "bUrger", but glad to see that college education is paying off. 

Either way, enjoy!!
