Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers

A Classic Fast Food Tiny Treat

I am starting out by saying that I did not invent the recipe for these Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers.

Recipes for these cheeseburgers are all over the internet and Pinterest. I have made these Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers for many years, so I am simply sharing the steps to how I make them.

They’re super easy to make and they are always a hit. Bring them to a party, make them for dinner for something fun and different, or serve them on game day.

In addition to being delicious and easy to make, these Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers are also super affordable. There is a cohesive and printable recipe for these Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers at the end of this post.

I will just share a few tips and tricks to making these burgers to make it easier on you.

The Big Mac Meat

I use 85% lean ground beef for this recipe, but you can use a more affordable ground meat if you choose. You will have to use paper towels to blot some of the grease off the top and bottom of the meat after it is cooked.

Additionally if you use a 75% fat ground beef, you will see that the meat shrinks a little bit more than the more lean beef. If you do not eat beef, you can substitute ground turkey for the beef in these Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers.

To be clear, I have not used ground turkey but I think you would still enjoy the flavor of these cheeseburgers if you opt for it. Remember when you flatten the meat on the cookie sheet to make it a little larger than the buns. You want to make sure that you have enough to cover the entire bun through the shrinking of the meat.

The Cheese In The Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers

For this recipe I use the kraft cheese singles. To me, this is the best cheese for this burger.

It melts perfectly and it gives the Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers the same flavor as McDonalds although I am not sure that this is the same cheese that McDonalds uses.

The Big Mac Seasoning

This recipe calls for very few ingredients as far as spices go. I have included measurements for the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and minced onion. You may prefer more or less of any of the spices I have included.

There is a good way to test the spices when you are making a ground meat recipe. Take a little bit of the meat, about a bite size, then fry it up in a skillet. This way you can taste the meat with the seasonings and add more if you think that it is under seasoned.

If you are new to cooking, this is a great way to figure out how heavy handed to be with your spices and herbs.

Bring The Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers To A Party

These Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers are perfect for a party. It would be my suggestion to prepare the meat patty in advance.

Bring it to the party separate from the buns and toppings, then melt the cheese on the burger patty when you get to there and assemble it after I arrived.

Assembling these Mini Big Mac Cheeseburgers is easy and should only take a few minutes after you melt the cheese and re-heat the patty.
