Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Ground Beef (lean, 85/15 or 90/10) Use fresh ground beef for better flavor.
  • 1 package Buttery Round Crackers Ensure the crackers can hold the weight of the beef and cheese.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart. Drain excess grease and cool.
  3. Arrange the crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  4. Add a tablespoon of cooked beef on each cracker.
  5. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Baking

Notes

These bites are great served warm right out of the oven. Offer dipping sauces like salsa, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing for added flavor. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through.
