When my husband and I were dating like a million years ago (or so it feels), we actually went on dates to McDonald’s. Not only were both incredibly cheap tightwads, but my husband had a crazy obsession with none other than…..dom dom dom, McDonald’s! Yes, he was (and still is) a cheeseburger fanatic. I even had a cheeseburger birthday cake made a couple years ago. Needless to say that he is all-American and loves his American food.
He’s not always easy to please, but as long as he gets his cheeseburger every now and then he’s good! In honor of him, I made up these amazing Mini Cheeseburger Pies that honestly was a little unplanned. It was one of those days when I was feeling experimental and I was on a path to one idea and ended up with another. I’m glad that this is where I ended up! These were sooooo good.
Using store bought pie crusts that I got 2 for $1.99 at Aldi, I filled them with a cheeseburger filling and topped them with whatever each family member wanted. My daughter Addie has just realized that she likes pickles. (I know right? Where has she been?! Pickles are yummy.) So she got those on her’s.
See? How adorable. What a great idea for a party. These aren’t too small but they also aren’t huge either so they could be used an appetizer also.
They are so simple too. I have a good feeling these would also freeze well.
This miniature version of cheeseburger pie is a perfect appetizer or party food!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 2 Premade Pie Crusts (or homemade if you prefer)
- 1 Medium Onion, Chopped
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Ketchup
- 1 Tbsp Djon or Yellow Mustard (whichever you prefer)
- 2 Tsp Garlic, Minced
- 4 oz Velveeta Cheese
- Salt and Pepper
- Bacon Pieces (Optional)
Method
- Preheat over to 450 degrees.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown mean with onion and garlic. Drain.
- Add worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, and Velveeta. Stir until combined.
- Meanwhile, using a glass or biscuit cutter, cut 2 and 3/4 inch circles out of pie crusts. Place circles into a greased muffin tin using the leftover scraps to piece together more.
- Fill each crust with equal amounts of meat filling. Add bacon pieces last if desired.
- Place a second pie crust circle on top of each pie and press down around the edges to help it seal.
- Cut a T slit in the tops to prevent them from bubbling up.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve with your favorite cheeseburger condiments!
