While the fast food chains like McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s offer super sizes of everything, the mini burger is gaining in popularity, especially at bars and restaurants. As people are discovering the joy of mini burgers, they are increasingly added to menus as appetizers and as part of the main meal in restaurants. In some areas, fast food restaurants are testing mini burger and have added them to their menu. At home they are easy and quick to make.
Of course a small burger is easier for a child to handle, but why are adults eating them? They are convenient and for those with smaller appetites or on a diet, it reduces the calorie intake while still satisfying the craving for a burger. For people on the go, ordering a mini burger to eat while driving is more convenient and less messy than a full size burger loaded up.
Depending on what is used for a bun and how big the burger is, it is easy for the burger to get lost in the bun. When making mini burgers, try to use smaller buns and have a burger that is a little thicker. This will make sure you can taste the burger. When it comes to mini burgers, they need big taste.

- Use dinner rolls for the “bun”
- Add a little extra seasoning
- Cut cheese to size ahead of time
- Serve as snacks or for dinner
- 2-3 mini burgers will equal a full size burger
- Have a large selection of condiments and toppings
