Mini Burger Bites

1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 package dry onion soup mix (about 2 tablespoons)
8 slices American cheese
16 soft dinner rolls
Ketchup or mustard, if you'd like
16 hamburger dill pickle slices

With adult help: Set the oven to 350°F. Put the ground beef and soup mix in a large (1 gallon) plastic food storage bag. Seal the bag. Squeeze the meat mixture with both hands until it is well blended. Empty the meat mixture into the Square Baker and press it evenly into the bottom of the baker with the Classic Scraper. Cut the meat mixture into 16 squares by cutting 3 lines down and 3 across using the edge of the scraper. With adult help: Bake the meat mixture for 20 to 22 minutes or until it is cooked through. Carefully remove the baker from the oven using the Oven Mitts. Separate the burgers into squares using My Safe Cutter.Cut 4 shapes from each cheese slice using a Creative Cutter shape or 1-inch cookie cutter. To make each burger bite, place 1 hamburger square on the bottom half of 1 dinner roll. Top with ketchup or mustard, if you’d like, 2 cheese shapes and a pickle slice. Cover with top half of the roll. Enjoy!
