Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 6 slices cheddar cheese (cut into quarters)
- 12 mini slider buns (or dinner rolls)
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo
Directions
- Preheat your grill (or a skillet) to medium-high heat.
- Mix ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Gently form into 12 small patties, slightly larger than your buns (they’ll shrink a bit when cooked).
- Cook patties for about 2–3 minutes per side, until they’re nicely seared and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Top each patty with a piece of cheese during the last minute of cooking, and cover to melt.
- Assemble burgers by layering patties on buns and adding your favorite toppings!
Tips for the Best Mini Cheeseburgers
- Don’t overwork the beef when forming patties — you want them juicy and tender!
- Lightly toast the buns for extra flavor and to help them hold up to the toppings.
- Keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F) if making a big batch.
Fun Variations
- Bacon Minis: Add crispy bacon strips for extra indulgence.
- Spicy Twist: Mix a little chipotle powder into the beef or top with jalapeños.
- Sauce It Up: Try aioli, BBQ sauce, or even sriracha mayo for fun flavor combos.
