Mini Burgers

The ultimate summer lunch-piration! This mini burger is the cutest way to eat from all the food groups. Pair with oven-baked fries and you're good to go!

I decided to try making patties on my own after much hesitation. I am really glad I had since I've already made it 3 times since. I have played around with the recipe and want to encourage you to swap out ingredients to fit you!
