These Cheesy Party Burgers are so fun and ridiculously delicious! They’re greatto whip up for a crowd or to just make a weeknight dinner extraordinary. Kevin took one bite and said I should call them “Diamond Burgers” because they’re small and bite-sized like a Krystal burger, but who would want a Krystal Burger when youcould have a DIAMOND burger??! Get it???

Bottom line, if you want to start the party, make theseCheesy Party Burgers! :)

Here’s what you’ll need for the burgers. Ground beef, dinner rolls, diced tomatoes (I like Ro-Tel), sliced cheese, garlic, and some seasonings. I used smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and mustard powder.

How to Make Cheesy Party Burgers

First we’ll start by browning the ground beef. Here’s how I like to do mine. First, I get the pan very, very hot, until it starts to smoke.

Then I add the ground beef, straight from the package, without breaking it up. I let it cook like this for 1-2 minutes over high heat, until the bottom is browned and seared.

Then I flip it over and let the other side brown, for 1-2 minutes. This extra step helps the beef not look “gray” and the sear gives the beef a fabulous flavor. It’s all about the flavor!

When the second side is browned,add the seasonings and onions, thenbreak up the beef with a spatula to finish browning.

Drain off any excess grease, if necessary, then add the garlic and stir to combine until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add the drained tomatoes and stir to combine.

Now place the bottom half of the dinner rolls in a 9×13 baking dish that’s been generously coated with nonstick cooking spray.

Top with the beef….

And 12 slices of cheese. I am using sharp cheddar, but feel free to use your favorite cheese!

Finish off withthe top half of the dinner rolls.

Now we’re going to make a fabulous glaze that is going to send these burgers over the top!!! You’ll need Worcestershire sauce, mustard, butter, brown sugar, and sesame seeds. Because burgers need sesame seeds!

If you’re totally against mustard you can use ketchup here instead. I’m not the hugest fan ofmustard and would never willingly put it on my burger, but I like it in this glaze. You’ll never even know it’s there.

Mix all the ingredients for the glaze in a sauce pan over medium heat until melted, smooth and combined.

Then pour it over the burgers. At this point you could cover with foil and keep in the fridge overnight and bake the next day.

When ready to eat, bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.

Gooey. Melty. Cheesy. Toasty.
