Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Onion powder
- 12 Mini burger buns
- 6 Cheese slices
- 2 tbsp Butter (melted)
- 6 Lettuce leaves (optional)
- 12 slices Pickles (sliced, optional)
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for toasting mini buns.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well but avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape into small patties about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they are fully cooked with an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
While the patties cook, prepare the toppings and slice the cheese slices in half to fit the mini burgers.
Lightly brush the inside of each mini bun with melted butter, then place the buns cut-side up on a baking sheet. Toast them in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
Once the patties are cooked, place a cheese slice on each patty. Allow the cheese to melt slightly by covering the skillet or grill pan for about 1 minute.
Assemble the mini cheeseburgers: Add lettuce, pickles, or desired toppings on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a cheeseburger patty on top.
Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of each bun, then close the burgers.
Serve immediately while warm, or secure each mini cheeseburger with a toothpick for easier handling at parties.
