Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Total Time 18 minutes
Serving Size 24 bites

Ingredients

  • 24 Ritz crackers or any round buttery cracker
  • 1/2 pound ground beef browned and drained
  • yellow mustard
  • sharp cheddar cheese cubed or shredded
  • dill pickle slices quartered

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and lay out the crackers.
  • Spoon a small amount of browned ground beef onto the center of each cracker.
  • Add a small dollop of mustard on top of the beef.
  • Top each with a piece of cheddar.
  • Bake at 350°F for about 8 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
  • Top each with a pickle quarter and serve warm. Leave some without pickles if needed.

Notes

  • Brown the beef a day or two ahead, or keep browned ground beef in the freezer.
  • Assemble and bake right before serving so the crackers stay crisp.
  • Top with ketchup, bacon, or jalapeño instead of mustard and pickle if you like.
