Tips for Making the Best Low Carb Cheeseburger Bites:
-Choose ground beef with a higher fat content such as 80/20. The extra fat will help the burgers to stay together and give them extra moisture. YUM!
-Choose high quality, in-season tomatoes and lettuce if possible. Homegrown and in season produce will give you the best overall flavor.
-Remember that hamburger patties shrink while cooking, so you will want to make them a little larger than you want the final cheeseburger bites to be.
-For uniform patties, try using a biscuit cutter that is slightly larger than you want your final product to be.
Can these Low Carb Cheeseburger Bites be made ahead of time?
Yes! To make party preparation easier, cook patties the day before and store them in the refrigerator. When party time comes, just warm them in a skillet, oven or microwave and assemble per instructions. You could also form the patties (uncooked) and freeze them until you are ready to use. Thaw and cook as normal when you are ready to serve them.

How to Make Low Carb Cheeseburger Bites:
makes 18 cheeseburger bites
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Form the meat mixture into 18 small hamburger patties. For uniform patties, try using a biscuit cutter. Form patties slightly larger than you want them to be as they will shrink during cooking.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the mini hamburgers until they reach your preferred level of doneness. You may need to cook the meat in 2 different batches.
Top each of the cooked mini burgers with a ¼ of a slice of cheese.
Fold half of a bibb lettuce leaf and place it on top of the hamburger patties, top the lettuce leaf with a pickle chip and then half of a cherry tomato. Place a toothpick down the center of the burger to hold everything in place.
Continue assembling cheeseburger bites until all 18 are made. Serve warm and enjoy!
