Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onions, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape into small, flat patties.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
- During the last minute, sprinkle shredded cheddar on top of each patty to melt.
- Spread ketchup and mustard on the mini buns.
- Place each cooked patty on the bottom half of the buns.
- Add pickles and optional toppings like bacon, lettuce, or tomato.

- Cook the patties ahead and refrigerate for quick assembly later.
