Description

All the juicy flavor of a classic burger transformed into bite-sized mini patties, perfect for parties, snacks, or casual get-togethers. These mini burger bites are easy to customize with your favorite toppings like cheese, pickles, ketchup, and mustard, offering a fun and delicious way to enjoy a beloved American favorite.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Buns and Toppings

  • Mini buns or slider rolls
  • Cheese slices
  • Pickles
  • Ketchup
  • Mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat the cooking surface: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking, or heat your grill to medium-high heat if grilling. This ensures the mini patties cook evenly and develop a nice crust.
  2. Prepare the meat mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly but gently to incorporate all ingredients without overworking the meat, which helps keep the patties tender.
  3. Form mini patties: Divide the meat mixture into approximately 12 equal portions and shape each into 1½-inch diameter mini patties. Make sure they are uniform in size for even cooking.
  4. Cook the patties: Place the mini patties on the preheated grill or oven-safe pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, flipping carefully, until they develop a browned crust and are cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  5. Assemble the mini burgers: Slice the mini buns or slider rolls and place the cooked patties inside. Add your choice of cheese slices, pickles, ketchup, mustard, or any other desired toppings. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Try ground turkey or chicken for a lighter, leaner version of the mini burger bites.
  • Top with caramelized onions or your favorite BBQ sauce for added flavor and variety.
  • These mini bites are great for entertaining and can be made ahead; just reheat before serving.
