A cool cheeseburger variation that you can easily make yourself at home
We love using muffin cups for ingenious hacks like fordiese Owner Muffins. The base of the cheeseburger muffins consists of burger buns that are formed and then filled with a minced meat mixture. To make them taste just like a cheeseburger, they're topped with cheddar and pickles.
The older children or adults can take care of preparing the burger filling, which simply requires frying onions with some ground beef. You should definitely pour off the fat (very carefully) so that the rolls don't get soggy.
While the minced meat and onions are sizzling in the pan, the children can use a rolling pin to roll out the burger buns. It's a strange step for sure, but mashing the bread is strangely satisfying. When all the buns have been rolled out, press them into the muffin cups and fill them with the hamburger meat. Place a small cheddar square on top of each muffin and bake until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted, about 10 minutes. Ketchup, mustard and pickles are of course the finishing touches.
