Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 12 pieces Mini slider buns
- 6 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 12 pieces Pickle slices
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Mustard
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until evenly combined but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the ground beef mixture into 12 equal portions and form small patties, each slightly larger than the diameter of the mini slider buns since they will shrink when cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cut the cheddar cheese slices in half to create 12 smaller sections. Place one piece of cheese on each cooked patty and let it melt slightly.
Place the bottom halves of the mini slider buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top each bun with a beef patty, a pickle slice, and a squirt of ketchup and mustard.
Cover each slider with the top half of the bun. Lightly brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds over them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the buns are lightly toasted and warm.
Remove from the oven and transfer the cheeseburger bites to a serving platter.
Serve warm and enjoy these slam dunk cheeseburger bites with your favorite dips!
