Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 15 pieces frozen phyllo tart shells
- 0.25 cup pickle slices, finely diced (optional)
- 0.25 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
- 2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula, about 5–7 minutes.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring well to combine.
Stir in the ketchup and yellow mustard, ensuring the beef mixture is evenly coated. Let it cook for another 2 minutes, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese (1/2 cup) while the mixture is still warm, allowing it to melt and bind the filling.
Arrange the frozen phyllo tart shells on a baking sheet. Fill each shell with a heaping spoonful of the beef mixture.
Top each tart with a sprinkle of the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
If desired, add a few pieces of diced pickle or crumbled bacon on top of the cheese for added flavor.
Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tart shells are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the tarts cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
Garnish with finely chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheeseburger Tarts!
