MINI BURGERS

Serves: 6-8

approx prep time: 15min

approx cook time: 15min

INGREDIENTS (Makes 12 mini burgers): 

- 1.5lbs Lean ground beef

- 6 strips of Bacon

- 1 small white onion (or 1/2 of a large white onion)

- 5 sweet gherkin pickles

- 3tbsp Montreal Steak Spice

- 3tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

- 2/3 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese

- Toppings of choice (Pickles, Tomato, etc..)

- 12 Mini buns, or, alternately, sliced Baguette

HOW TO MAKE IT:

- Cook the bacon in half strips until crispy and set aside.

- Very finely dice onion and gherkin pickles.

- Combine ground beef, diced onion, diced gherkins, Montreal steak spice, and Parmesan cheese, mixing thoroughly.

- Form mix into patties, roughly 1.75 to 2" in diameter and 0.75" thick.

- Cook in a grill pan to desired doneness. For medium well, this should be about 4-5 minutes per side. You'll want to rotate the burgers around the pan, as the heat in different portions of the pan may be uneven.

- Once cooked, put the burgers on the bun, with all the fixings, and serve hot!
