Mini Burgers

11 September 2008 7 Comments Disclosure

Mini BurgersI love those mini burgers from popular restaurants. The little size. The yumminess. They are just so gosh darn good, well except the price. Getting a “bag-full” of these things can really add up to feed a family of four or more so I decided to come up with my own recipe for a fraction of the cost. Let me tell you these little mini burgers are just as good if not better than the real thing. Try them out for yourself and see.

Ingredients
1 lb. hamburger meat (thawed)
1/2 white onion, finely chopped
6 slices of american cheese, halved
1 package 12 count dinner rolls (mine were by Sara Lee)

Directions
Mix hamburger meat with onions. Form 12 small balls. In a preheated grill pan, place twelve balls and flatten. Cook until they no longer stick to the pan then flip and cook on the other side until well-done. Place fully cooked mini burgers in the middle of each dinner roll, top with half of an american cheese slice and other condiments you desire. Eat and enjoy!

Tip: These burgers really taste like the fast food equivalent after you let them sit in the refrigerator for a day. Best eaten on the second day for sure, so you can make these a day ahead of serving time.

    Great recipe! I grew up on Krystal’s but there aren’t any close by here, so maybe I can fix these up when I need a Krystal fil!! Thanks!

    Love it! They look soooo good. I have had bariatric surgery & can only eat small amounts, one of these is a complete meal. A local speciality burger place across town serves their kids meals like this, and I was looking at dinner rolls just yesterday to snag the idea! TY!

    No Krystals or White Castle around here. Those look yummy so maybe we’ll try them soon!

    I make a vegetarian version of these burgers.

    I use about a pound of mock ground beef

    Instead of copped onions, I use a package of dry onion soup mix.

    Two cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and the same dinner rolls.

    Even the meat eaters in the family enjoy this meal. It hink it is cheaper and better tasting than the Castle.
