Burger Muffins

​I love cheeseburgers and I also love muffins. So I thought: "why not put them together?"

To make my burger muffins recipe, you will need:
- 1lb of ground beef (97% lean if you can get it)
- 1 large onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of pancake mix (Bisquick works great)
- 2 eggs
- Some pickles (however many you want!)
- A frying pan to brown the beef in
- A muffin pan that holds at least 12 muffins
- Cooking spray 
- A timer
- An oven mitt (and an adult)
- A chopping knife (and an adult)
- A mixing spoon
- A whisk
​- A large mixing bowl
- A couple of small bowls to hold ingredients

​Directions:
Step 1: Turn the oven on to 375 degrees.
Step 2: With an adult nearby, mince the garlic. Watch those fingers! Put it in a small bowl and set to the side.
Step 3: With an adult's help, chop the onion. Watch those fingers! Put it in a small bowl and set to the side.
Step 4: Put the ground beef into the frying pan. Add the minced garlic and the chopped onion. Mix it up with the spoon. 
Step 5: Turn the stove on Medium-Low. Make sure you have an adult nearby. Put the frying pan on the heat and brown the ground beef mixture. Don't totally cook it. That part happens in the oven. Just make sure there isn't any red or pink parts showing. Use a mixing spoon to stir the mixture as it browns up. It should sizzle. 
Step 6: It should take about 5 minutes or so to brown up the mixture. Turn the heat off. The pan and the stove are hot! Have an adult help you strain the excess water out of the mixture.
Step 7: Add the Worcestershire sauce. Mix it in with the spoon.
Step 8: Add the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix it in with the spoon. It should melt a bit. That's okay! Put the mixture to the side.
Step 9: Get out the large mixing bowl. Put the pancake mix into the bowl. 
Step 10: Add the milk to the pancake mix. 
Step 11: Add the eggs to the pancake mix. Use the whisk to mix it all up. No lumps!
Step 12: Get out the muffin pan and spray each cup with the cooking spray. Don't point it yourself by accident!
Step 13: Put about 1 tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup.
Step 14: Put some of the ground beef mixture into each muffin cup. Make sure you have a bit of meat AND cheese in every cup!
Step 15: Put more batter on top of the ground beef mixture. Make sure each muffin cup gets some!
Step 16: Put the muffin pan into the oven. Get an adult to help. The oven is hot! Set the timer for 30 minutes
Step 17: Once the timer goes off, get an adult to help take the muffins out of the oven. Let them cool for about 5 minutes. Scoop one out and put it on a plate. Add pickles! Yum!
