Everyone has a food vice, I have many… most of which involve cheese of some sort. One of such devilish delights is a burger with cheese, tomatoes and mayo. I actually don’t even necessarily require the burger, its just a filling addition that happens to taste pretty good too.

In an effort to avoid the drive-thru, I put together one of these nouveau mini burgers you’re seeing in all the family chains. Using Laura’s Lean natural beef, I crafted two meatball-sized patties. I grilled these up on the flat top with colby jack. For the most perfect mini-bun, I cut a hot dog bun in half and toasted the halves, naturally. Dressed with light mayo and a fresh organic tomato, these tasty boys are healthy enough that you can’t call them sliders.
