Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons instant minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 8 ounces American cheese, cut into 2-inch cubes (2 cups)
  • 24 miniature sandwich buns, split

Steps

  • 1
    Cook beef in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat about 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until brown; drain. Stir in ketchup, onion and mustard.
  • 2
    Spray 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Spoon beef mixture into cooker. Top with cheese.
  • 3
    Cover and cook on low heat setting 3 to 4 hours or until mixture is hot and cheese is melted.
  • 4
    Serve beef mixture with buns. Beef mixture will hold on low heat setting up to 3 hours.

  • To add a little zip to these mini burgers, use Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers instead of American cheese.
  • For a kid's birthday party, spoon the meat mixture on small round bun halves. Let kids decorate their own open-face sandwiches with ketchup and mustard in squeeze containers. Set out bowls of shredded cheese, sliced pickles, cherry tomato halves and sliced olives so they can make silly faces.
