My grandmother passed this recipe along years ago. She fixed them as a quick treat for her grandsons who had been hunting all morning. Now I take them to everything from baby showers to Christmas parties to game day gatherings. They are always a hit. I serve dipping sauces of mustard and ketchup. Easy!

Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and onions in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool.
Step 3
Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk milk, ketchup, melted butter, eggs, and mustard together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until just moistened. Fold ground beef mixture and Cheddar cheese into batter; spoon into each muffin cup.
Step 4
Bake muffins in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes.

Cook's Note:

After adding all ingredients into batter, if batter is a little stiff, I use a tablespoon of water to soften it.

They sounded so good but were disappointing. As some others noted they were very cake like and on the dry side. Bacon may help but I am not sure. I may try them again but will need to figure out how not to have them be so dry. Maybe extra meat or some chopped mushrooms. Read More

My husband and kids - all VERY picky eaters - LOVED these! The only change I made was I used 1 1/2 lbs ground beef... These are a hit, thanks for the recipe! I’ll try adding bacon next time.... Read More

I have to agree with lutzflcat on some of the points made. These cheeseburgers were okay. They were too dry and cakey thick not much flavor and I would have liked the cheese to be more melted. I ended up making 54 of them. Now I did substitute the ground beef with ground turkey and I used mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar. Those changes may have caused some of my dislikes. Here are the steps with picturesI followed: http://ibakeandrate.com/easy-cheeseburger-mini-muffins/ Read More

12.19.15 I followed this recipe to the letter and honestly was a little disappointed. Just a couple tips: you don t get much rise on the muffins so do fill each mini-muffin cup to the top. Also they don t spread out so be sure that the top of each muffin is smoothed out for a nicer presentation because it s going to come out of the oven looking like it did when it went in (hope that makes sense). I checked these muffins at 13 minutes and they already were overdone and too brown IMO so watch your time. I scaled this recipe down to 6 servings so I should have ended up with 12 mini muffins. I ended up with 30 which almost makes me wonder if the author meant regular sized muffins??? These aren t bad but they just didn t have as much flavor as I was anticipating. Missing something just not sure what else would kick up the flavor. This is the first review on this recipe and I don t want to discourage others from giving it a try. This simply didn t live up to my expectations. Lori P sorry for the somewhat critical comments but I do want to give an honest review. Read More

Not bad. As other reviewers stated they are only as big as you fill the mini muffin cup. So fill them full and rounded over to look like a muffin. Next time we'll try adding bacon like others suggested. Read More
