Going to the grocery store with a plan has always been one of the best money saving tactics our family has incorporated to keep us on or under budget for the week. Although I usually go in as a woman on a mission with a grocery list and shopping list on my smart phone things sometimes go awry with circumstances I can’t control or I just forget.
So when I came home hoping to surprise my husband with a blue cheese burger from the grill and realized I had forgotten the buns I was a little peeved at myself. No bread to speak of other than crackers I decided we would have to go to the store or improvise. Since my daughter was asleep for a late nap going out wasn’t an option so I gave this recipe a go and I was so excited to see it was a success.
“What’s not to love about bacon, hamburger and cheese?” It wasn’t exactly the compliment I was looking for when it was all said and done but he was actually right. Even though the ingredients are cooked individually incorporating them together with the cheese and baking them gives each ingredient new life. Personalizing these miniature cheeseburger cupcake burgers was so easy! My husband added tangy barbecue sauce and I added balsamic ketchup and some crispy french onions! Serve with a tossed salad for a different take on the every day burger or if you didn’t forget the potatoes make some fries! We guarantee you’ll enjoy this cheeseburger cupcake recipe!
