Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 6 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 6 pieces Mini burger buns
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 6 small Lettuce leaves
• 6 slices Tomato slices
• 6 slices Pickle slices
• 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 3 tbsp Ketchup
• 1 tbsp Mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty about 2.5 inches in diameter. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly butter the cut sides of the mini burger buns and toast them in the skillet until golden brown. Set aside.

Step 4

Add the burger patties to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side without pressing down on them. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the desired level of doneness is reached.

Step 5

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a cheese-topped patty, a tomato slice, and a pickle slice. Top with the upper halves of the buns.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your cheesy mini burgers!
