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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for toasting mini buns.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well but avoid overworking the meat.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape into small patties about 2 inches in diameter.

Step 4

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).

Step 5

While the patties cook, prepare the toppings and slice the cheese slices in half to fit the mini burgers.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Assemble the mini cheeseburgers: Add lettuce, pickles, or desired toppings on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a cheeseburger patty on top.

Step 9

Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of each bun, then close the burgers.

Step 10

Serve immediately while warm, or secure each mini cheeseburger with a toothpick for easier handling at parties.
