Cheeseburger Biscuit Bites Ingredients
These biscuit bites are made with simple and delicious ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need for this tasty and easy recipe:

- Ground Beef – you can substitute ground turkey, ground chicken or ground pork in this recipe
- Meat Seasoning: Beef Bouillon, Brown Sugar, Apple Cider Vinegar, Worcestershire Sauce, Soy Sauce
- Dill pickle slices – pickles are essential to cheeseburgers!
- American cheese – my favorite brand is Land O’Lakes
- Melted butter
- Minced Garlic & Parsley
How do you make Biscuit Bites?
I got the idea for this from my foodie bestie – Plain Chicken! She has these amazing French Dip Biscuits – omg so good! I saw them and instantly knew I had to make Cheeseburger Biscuit Bites!
- Pre heat oven to 350º & spray cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble ground beef and brown over medium high heat – break up completely into tiny pieces – about 2/3 way through
- While ground beef is cooking, pull apart flaky biscuits in half. Using a rolling pin, flatten biscuit halves so they are larger in shape. Place half the biscuits onto the cookie sheet.
- To the skillet with the hamburger, add bouillon, water, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire and soy sauce. Simmer on low until liquid is evaporated and remove from heat
- Spoon 1/4 cup beef crumbles (or a little less) onto the biscuit halves on the cookie sheet.
- Top seasoned ground beef with a couple of pickles slices and 1/2 slice of cheese. Place other half of the biscuit on top of cheese and pinch together on all sides.
- In a microwave safe bowl, place butter and garlic and cover with press & seal – microwave for 1 minute. Stir together.
- Using a silicone baster, spread the garlic butter on top of the sandwiches and sprinkle with parsley.
- Bake 12-15 minutes at 350º until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and serve with your favorite burger sauces and a salad.
Where is a Maid Rite?
Maid Rites are loose meat sandwiches that are served on a bun with mustard and pickle. Think along the lines of a sloppy joe – but without the tomato sauce. They originated in Iowa and are a famed favorite around the country.
Can you make Maid Rite Biscuit Bites ahead of time?
Yes definitely! You can make these earlier in the day and get them on your cookie sheet and refrigerate them covered until you’re ready to bake. Or you could make a big batch of the meat ahead of time – and then make these Biscuit Bites or my slider recipe – or even regular Maid Rites whenever you want!
What can I add to these Cheeseburger Bites?
You could add diced onion or green pepper to the ground beef when browning for added veggies in the mix. Add crumbled bacon with the pickles for a Bacon Cheeseburger bite!
How do you store and reheat leftover Cheeseburger Biscuit Bites?
Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass storage ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can freeze up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes, in the air fryer at 325º for 5-7 minutes or in the oven at 325º covered in foil for 20 minutes.
