Add 1 teaspoon seasoned salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper to a mixing bowl with ground beef and combine with a spoon or your hands. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, pinch off about 1 inch of meat and roll into a ball. Then flatten the ball between your hands and place on a baking sheet line with a baking rack (makes 14-16 tiny burgers)
Bake burgers at 400° for 20-25 until no longer pink inside
If you are choosing to melt the cheese, place one cheese cube on each burger, place back in the oven and bake until cheese has melted
Allow burgers to cool for 5 minutes before assembling Keto Cheeseburger Bites
Add cherry tomato, pickle chip, and lettuce to toothpick, leaving room for cheese and burger
If not melting your cheese, add cheese cube to toothpick followed by burger patty
If you melted the cheese, just add the burger patty to the bottom of the toothpick and arrange on a platter. Continue for the rest of the burgers
Add dipping sauce to a bowl and serve!
These can be made ahead of time. Add everything but the burgers to the toothpicks and place in your fridge. Refrigerate the cooked burgers as well, but keep them separate. Warm the burgers and add them to the toothpicks just before serving.
1 pound of ground beef makes 14-16 burger bites
