    beef and blue cheese bites

    I love a nice tender steak topped with crumbled blue cheese. That got me thinking about how to make a recipe to get close to that flavor yet enjoyable for the kids and used what I had on hand. By the time I got it in the oven, I was really craving that meaty blue cheese flavor and crossing my fingers it was going to turn out like I wanted. I’m very happy to report that this is completely delicious. I made large ones with a regular muffin tin and smaller ones with a mini muffin tin. They were better as bite size sides or appetizers, but I wouldn’t have complained to eat just those for dinner! The kids loved them, but I did have to call them muffins.

    • Add hamburger mixture to cheese mixture and stir, then place by tsp onto the dough in the muffin pan.
