KETO MINI BURGER BITES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, coconut aminos sauce, garlic powder, basil, oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
• Form the meat mixture into 18 small hamburger patties.
• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the mini hamburgers until they reach your preferred level of doneness. You may need to cook the meat in 2 different batches.
• Top each of the cooked mini burgers with a ¼ of a slice of cheese.
• Fold half of a bibb lettuce leaf and place it on top of the hamburger patties, top the lettuce leaf with a pickle chip and then half of a cherry tomato. Place a toothpick down the center of the burger to hold everything in place.

BACON CHEESEBURGER BITES

Steps:

• Heat a skillet with a lid over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the ground beef, salt and pepper, Worcestershire sauce and garlic in a small bowl until well combined. Divide the mixture into 6 equal mini patties. Set aside.
• Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside. Add the burger bites and cook until well browned all over and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Add 2 of the quartered pieces of cheese to the top of each bite and cover the skillet with the lid. Allow the cheese to melt, 1 minute. Remove the bites to a plate.
• Tear each bacon piece into bite-size pieces. Start building up the bites by placing a piece of bacon on top of each patty, then a couple of folded leaves of spinach, a couple of pickles, a dollop of your favorite burger condiment, and a half a tomato, securing it all with a toothpick or small skewer. Repeat with the remaining ingredients until all the bites are built, and serve.

Bake at 350 degrees F until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool. Form 1 pound ground beef into twelve 2-inch patties, place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake 15 minutes. Split the buns; fill with the patties, sliced cheddar cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard.
