Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 pound ground chuck
  • 8 (3-inch) buns or rolls, split in half
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Directions

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees F.

Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

Line a jellyroll or sheet pan with parchment paper, and place the ground chuck in the middle of the pan. Cover the meat with a large sheet of plastic wrap. Roll meat with a rolling pin until it covers the surface of the pan; it should be very thin. Remove the plastic wrap, and sprinkle the meat with the seasoning mixture. Fold the meat in half, from side to side, using the parchment paper. Use a pizza wheel to cut the meat into 8 even squares.

Wrap the buns in foil and place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the burgers on the griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Remove the buns from the oven. Spread a small amount of mayonnaise on each bun and top with the burger and any other condiments, as desired. Serve immediately.

    These mini burgers were fantastic, we all loved them! These are great because you top them with anything cheese and bacon or onions and mustard, but my personal favorite is parmesan, bacon, and sweet potata fries!

    My family loves these burgers! We used to enjoy a romp to the local mini burger joint, but these are so much better and I like knowing what is actually inside the burgers too!

    These are so simple, and so amazing, one of my favorite dishes to make and eat! Try them with sharp cheddar and sriracha mayonnaise or blue cheese and bacon.
