Mini Cheeseburgers
Recipe adapted from Appetizer Addictionhttps://www.appetizeraddiction.com/mini-cheeseburgers/
Ingredients
For the Cheeseburgers
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 2 tsps onion flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic flakes
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 18 mini burger buns, cut in half
- 9 slices cheese
- pickles, thinly sliced
- lettuce leaves
For the Burger Sauce (optional)
- 3 tbsps mayonnaise
- 4 tbsps ketchup (or more)
Instructions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Preheat oven to 400 ºF.
- Place all the burger ingredients (ground beef, onion flakes, salt, garlic flakes and black pepper) in a mixing bowl. With your hand, mix until the seasoning is well distributed.
- Use the smallest cookie dough scoop to divide the mixture into 18 portions. Place them onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Roll them into balls.
- Next, press each ball gently down until it is quite flat. With your fingers, press down in the center of each patty.
- Wash hands with soap and water. Wash utensils after touching raw meat.
- Bake burgers until internal temperature reaches 160 °F on a food thermometer, approximately 10 minutes. If using ground turkey, bake burgers until internal temperature reaches 165 °F on a food thermometer.
- While the burgers are in the oven, prepare the toppings. Thinly cut the pickles if not using pre-cut. Gently rub lettuce under cold running water. Pat lettuce dry and cut it into smaller pieces. Cut cheese into quarters.
- For the burger sauce, mix together ketchup and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
- Assemble the burgers. Get the bottom half of the burger bun, spread burger sauce over, top it with a slice of cheese, lettuce, burger, cheese and pickle. Cover with the other half of the bun. Secure with a cocktail stick. Repeat with the rest.
- Serve immediately.
- * Tip: When your burgers are ready, cover each with a slice of cheese and put them back in the warm oven for a minute or two or until ready to serve. Make sure the oven is turned off.
