These Cheeseburger Cupcakes taste like cheesy mini meatloaves baked in a muffin tin and are baked surrounded by a layer of bread. They are cheesy, savoury, and delicious!
Provide as the main course of your meal and serve with your choice of sides. I like to eat them with a side of potatoes, and cooked vegetables such as green beans.
These savoury cupcakes would be a great easy homemade recipe to make for Father’s Day. But, are also the perfect size for the kids too! They would be a perfect addition to a birthday party!
You can also freeze them and thaw out for a fast lunch when needed. They are excellent to pack for the kids lunch and they even taste good cold if you can’t reheat them.
Make them even more special by having the kids help make them! It is a fun recipe to make for the kids too. Just be careful with the raw meat of course and teach proper hand hygiene before and after.
Cheeseburger Cupcakes
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a large bowl combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, 1 can of cheddar soup, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs,. Set aside.
Trim crusts off of 12 slices of bread. Butter one side of each bread. Place buttered side down in muffin cups and shape to fit.
(Tidbit: Wait! Don’t throw out the crusts. Save and use them for this Apple Cinnamon French Toast Casserole.)
Fill each muffin cup with the meat mixture filling to the top. Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until meat is completely cooked through, internal temperature should be at least 170°F/77°C checked by a meat thermometer.
These Cheeseburger Cupcakes freeze well and are also good cold for lunches. Enjoy!
What type of bread should you use?
Any standard loaf of bread should work. As long as the bread slices aren’t too thick, as you want enough room for the filling. I used half of a standard whole wheat bread, and the other half I used white bread from Cobs Bread. Both worked well, however, I favoured the white Cobs Bread because it is a tastier bread in my opinion and never ripped at all while fitting into the pan. The whole wheat bread actually ripped a little bit while fitting into the muffin cups.
