Puff Pastry Cheeseburger Bites

Ingredients

Puff pastry sheets
1 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
Ketchup
Dill pickle slices
Monterey Jack cheese

Creamy Beef Sauce

4 tablespoons butter, salted
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups beef broth
½ cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Worchestire sauce

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 ℉. Spray cooking oil on a mini muffin tray. Set aside.

Let puff pastry thaw according to package instructions. Unfold puff pastry on a cutting board. Using a small circle cookie cutter, cut out circles slightly larger than the mini cookie pan. Press each circle into the muffin pan, forming a cup. Bake the puff pastry cups at 400 ℉ for 7-8 minutes.

Brown the ground beef and drain any excess fat. Season with salt, pepper and onion powder. Cover with foil to keep the meat hot.

Melt butter in small saucepan. Whisk in flour until a thick paste forms. Slowly pour in beef broth, whisking to blend the paste. Stir in heavy cream and worchestire. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce begins to thicken.

Remove puff pastry from oven. Remove each cup while they are still warm from the pan. Fill each puff pastry cup with seasoned ground beef (make sure the ground beef is hot enough to melt the cheese).

Pour a tablespoon of hot creamy sauce over each hamburger bowl. Top with cheese, ketchup and dill pickle slices. Serve when hot.
