Rainforest Rascals Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, then form into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.

2. 2

   Preheat the Grill

   Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   Grill the Patties

   Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

4. 4

   Prepare the Buns

   While the patties are grilling, slice the mini burger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill if desired.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   Layer lettuce on the bottom half of each bun, add the grilled patties with melted cheese, top with tomato slices, and add ketchup and mustard to taste. Finish with the top half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the mini-burgers warm with your favorite sides.
