Things to know before you start

Time Schedule

In under 3 hours you will have the perfect snack in the form of mini cheeseburger muffins.

Total ingredients

With these ingredients you will be able to make 12 mini cheeseburger muffins.

Difficulty

Nice and simple recipe for a perfect snack for Super Bowl and parties in general.

Baking tools

A stand mixer can come in handy, but you can also knead the dough by hand without any issues. You will also need parchment paper, a baking grill or plate and 12 cupcake cups. We recommend silicone cupcake cups, because they are reusable and the filling won’t wet out like the ones made out of paper.

For the cooking part you will need a knife, a non-stick pan and something to stir.

Besides that feel free to have a look at our should have baking tools overview for some other baking helpers.

Steps

1. Mix

• Mix all of the mentioned ingredients together in a stand mixer for 4 minutes on speed level one and 6 minutes on speed level two

2. Bulk Fermentation

• Cover the dough and let it rest for a total of 60 minutes at 20-22°C (68-71,6°F)

3. Shape

• Follow this short guide on how to get the dough into the cupcake cups:

1. Divide the dough into 12 small dough balls equalling each one to about 60 g
2. Form a small ball
3. Press the dough down to form a small dough circle
4. Fill a cupcake cup with the small dough circle creating a dip in the center

• Repeat the process for each dough circle

4. Proof

• Cover the cupcake cups with a clean kitchen towel
• Let them proof for 30 minutes at 20-22°C (68-71,6°F)

5. Cook

• While the dough is proofing, prepare the ground beef

• Place the ground beef in a bowl, add ketchup, a bit of salt and pepper and combine with your hands until fully incorporated
• Set aside for cooking

• Peel the onion and chop finely
• Sauté with canola or sunflower oil until translucent in a non-stick pan
• Add the previously prepared ground beef and boil until fully cooked (about 10 minutes)
• As the last step add the cheddar cheese, stir and cook until fully melted

6. Topping

• Fill each cupcake cup with ground beef
• Add some cheddar cheese on top

7. Bake

• Preheat oven to 190°C (374°F) for ~30 minutes with the upper and lower heat function
• Cover a baking grill with parchment paper and place the cupcake cups on top
• Place the baking grill in the middle rack and bake for 20 minutes
• After baking, take your finished cheeseburger muffins out immediately, but keep them in the cupcake cups

8. Cool

• Afterwards add some gherkin slices and tomato ketchup on top
