Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) ground beef

¼ cup breadcrumbs

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp Dijon mustard

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

12 mini slider buns

1 large pickle, sliced (optional)

Ketchup and mustard for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

    Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about the size of the mini slider buns.

      Add Cheese: Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of half of the patties. Top with the remaining patties and seal the edges by pinching them together. This will create a cheeseburger bite with melted cheese in the middle.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

          Air Fry the Cheeseburger Bites: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the cheeseburger bites in a single layer, making sure they don't touch. You may need to cook them in batches. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

            Assemble the Sliders: Once the bites are cooked, place them on the mini slider buns. Add a slice of pickle if desired, and top with ketchup and mustard.

              Serve: Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious Mini Air Fryer Cheeseburger Bites!
