MUFFIN BACON TIN CHEESEBURGERS

These Muffin-Tin Bacon Cheeseburgers are delicious. My husband said they remind him of McDonalds which could be good or bad depending how you feel about them.

My family went crazy for them. To be honest, with half the bun, they’re somewhat healthy for you. Only 200 calories per sandwich!

Start by pressing one half of a burger bun in a buttered muffin tin. You could even use sandwich bread if that’s all  you have.Add the browned meat and onion mixture and top with a little ketchup.

Finally, top with 1/4 of a slice of cheese and bake until melted.
Top with bacon, mustard, pickles,…whatever you want!
They fit perfectly in your hand!
