Cheeseburger Cups
We love using muffins tins for genius hacks like this. The “cups” are pieces of white bread that get molded and then filled with a ground beef mixture that tastes just like a cheeseburger. Don’t forget to drizzle with your favorite condiments and top with a pickle chip or crispy chopped bacon!
INGREDIENTS
nonstick cooking spray
6 burger buns, halved
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 Onion, finely chopped
1 lb. ground beef (optional: ground turkey)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 slices cheddar (optional: Feta Cheese)
ketchup, for serving (optional)
yellow mustard, for serving (optional)
Pickles, for serving (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350° and grease a muffin pan with cooking spray. Roll out burger bun halves to 1/4” thick. Place the rolled-out buns cut side up in muffin cups.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, and cook until the beef is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain.
- Season mixture with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cut each cheddar slice into 4 small squares. Divide ground beef mixture between burger bun cups. Top with a slice of cheddar and bake until the cheese has melted and the edges of the bun are golden, about 10 minutes.
- Drizzle ketchup and mustard on top and garnish with a pickle, if desired. Serves: 6
