Mini Cheeseburger Skewers With Burger Sauce Food

MINI CHEESEBURGER SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven broiler to 550° Fahrenheit.
• In a medium bowl, mix ground beef and sausage together. Add salt, pepper and worchestershire sauce. Mix well without overmixing and causing the fats in the meat to begin to melt.
• Form seasoned meat into 1" balls. Gently press down top to flatten a little. Place on a broiler pan and broil for approximately 8 minutes. Add cheese to top of burgers, put back under broiler and melt.
• Use a small biscuit or cookie cutter to cut "mini" buns out of the hamburger bun tops and bottoms.
• Assemble skewers by adding a top bun, 2-3 pieces of lettuce, cheeseburger, tomato, pickle and bottom bun until all ingredients have been used. Serve with your favorite burger condiment or sauce!

CHEESEBURGER SKEWERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the Simple Truth™ ⁹⁰⁄₁₀ Ground Beef with the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and shallot until just combined.
• Divide the beef mixture into 18 balls (about 1-1½ tablespoons each) and flatten into ½"-thick patties.
• Using a 2-2½" ring cookie cutter, cut each side of the slider buns into small rounds.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast the buns, cut sides down, for 20 seconds, or until golden brown. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in the same skillet. Working in batches, add the beef patties and cook for 90 seconds. Flip and reduce the heat to medium. Place a quarter slice of cheddar on top of each patty and cook for 90 seconds more, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked through. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining patties and cheese.
• Make the avocado dip: In a blender, combine the avocado flesh, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice, and salt. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, until smooth. Season with more salt to taste.
• Assemble the skewers: Thread a toasted bottom bun onto a skewer, followed by a beef patty, a piece of lettuce, a tomato half, a piece of red onion, and a pickle slice. Repeat stacking the ingredients from the beef patty to the pickle 2 more times, then finish with a top bun. Repeat to make 5 more skewers.
• Serve the skewers immediately with the avocado dip and Simple Truth™ No Sugar Added Ketchup for dipping.
• Enjoy!

MINI BURGERS

Steps:

• For Paul's burger sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients.
• For the burgers: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add about 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet. When the butter has melted, working in batches, open the buns and toast them in the skillet until they are golden brown.
• Wipe out the skillet and reheat it over medium-high heat. Season the burger patties with salt and pepper. Working in batches and using more of the oil and butter, place some of the burger patties in the skillet (do not crowd the pan). Cook until the burgers are well seared (about 3 minutes) and flip. Place a slice of cheese on each burger and continue to cook the burgers for 2 minutes longer. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese and steam the burgers. Continue until all the burgers are cooked, adding more oil and butter to the skillet between batches as necessary.
• Spread each side of the buns with about 2 teaspoons of Paul's burger sauce. Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper and place the tomatoes on the bottoms of the buns. Place the cooked burger patties on top of the tomatoes and then top the burgers with shredded lettuce. Secure the tops of the buns on the burgers with frilled toothpicks or small bamboo skewers.
