01. Mini Cheeseburger Bites

These tiny appetizers taste just like mini cheeseburgers wrapped in flaky crescent dough. They’re perfect for baby showers or any casual party where you want something fun and tasty.

Ingredients:

• 1 tube crescent roll dough, separated into triangles
• 1/2 pound ground beef, cooked and drained
• 1 packet onion soup mix
• 4 slices American cheese, cut into small squares
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1/4 cup dill pickle slices, chopped small

How To Make Mini Cheeseburger Bites

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s completely browned, then drain off any grease. Stir in the onion soup mix, ketchup, and mustard until everything is well combined and the meat looks nicely coated.

2. Unroll your crescent dough and separate it into the individual triangles on a clean work surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the beef mixture on the wide end of each triangle, then add a small piece of cheese and a few chopped pickles on top.

3. Starting from the wide end, carefully roll up each triangle toward the point, making sure to tuck in the sides so the filling doesn’t leak out. Place the rolled bites seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each one.

4. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crescent dough is golden brown and flaky. Let them cool for just a few minutes before serving, since the filling will be very hot and the cheese will be perfectly melted and gooey inside.
