Cheeseburger Puffs
Description
These Cheeseburger Puffs start by browning ground beef and onions, then simmering with barbecue sauce until thick. Separately, a batter is made blending flour, baking powder, milk, egg, and seasonings, into which shredded cheddar cheese and the cooled beef mixture are folded. The batter rests briefly before being spooned into a greased muffin tin.
Each muffin is topped with a piece of string cheese pressed into the center and covered with more batter to create a gooey cheese core. After baking at 375°F for about 20 minutes, the puffs develop a lightly browned, puffed exterior with a moist, flavorful interior rich in beef and cheese.
These puffs serve well as snacks or appetizers and can be garnished with pickles to mimic cheeseburger accompaniments.
