Cheeseburger Mini Muffins

Wow, April just flew by! It's Muffin Monday again and since I'd been making a lot of sweets lately I set out to find a savory muffin to make.  I found these Cheeseburger Mini Muffins on Taste of Home.

I did make a few changes.  First up, I used minced dried onion instead of fresh.  I added some cracked black pepper along with the salt. Whole milk is what we have on hand so that's what went in there.

I got zero process pics but other than browning the meat ahead of the mix it's pretty standard muffin method.  Wet in one bowl, dry in the other, wet into dry gently and not thoroughly, add your mix ins (in this case the meat and cheese) and then scoop into tins.

You can do these as minis as the recipe is titled or you can do regular size.  It makes a lot of minis.  Like dozens. I did one tin of minis and then I did 6 full size muffins.

I also sprinkled a bit of each ingredient of top because I always like people to see what they are getting but you have to be careful that it doesn't over brown/burn.

I served mine up with spicy ketchup and spicy pickles that I get from a local farm stand. Using the good sharp cheddar cheese is definitely a necessity. I'd intended on freezing some but the guys ripped through them in no time.

Thanks so much to Stacy for hosting #MuffinMonday and to all the other awesome bloggers who shared recipes today, be sure to go check out what they made using the links down below!
