I invented these cute little muffins so I could enjoy the flavor of cheeseburgers without resorting to fast food. I often freeze a batch and reheat however many I need, including as appetizers. —Teresa Kraus, Cortez, Colorado

Test Kitchen Tips

Mix gently to avoid dense muffins.

These also are great with ground pork or turkey.

For the most flavor, we recommend using sharp cheddar.

Directions

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.

In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine the ketchup, milk, butter, eggs and mustard; stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the beef mixture and cheese.
Fill greased miniature muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 425° until a toothpick comes out clean, 15-18 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
