Mini Burger Recipe

Posted February 17, 2012 by Stephanie

When I was brainstorming ideas for the savoury bottom tier of our afternoon beer, mini burgers immediately came to mind. Mini burgers are the tiny tea sandwiches of the burger world. Super simple, super tasty. This is barely a recipe – what really makes this burger is the sauce. Give it a try on your favourite burger recipe, you won’t regret it!

I am juicy, I am sauced: I AM MINI BURGER WITH SHACK SAUCE!

Mini Burger Recipe
yield: 6 mini burgers

  • 9 ounces ground beef

Shape the ground beef into 1.5 ounce patties. Heat a bit of oil in a cast iron skillet. When hot, add the burger and pan fry for one to two minutes per side. Place on lightly buttered mini buns and top with your favorite burger toppings.

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

    Did that first shot leave grease all over your lens? I’m always trying to avoid splatters, but that is down right artsy. :) Love it, love the burger recipe and love the blog, as always!
