  • 2 cups nuetral oil
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 lb ground beef

  • Repeat with each cheeseburger bite until they are all filled and/or the filling is gone. Set aside while you prepare your frying oil.
  • Fill a large pot or dutch oven with oil and bring to 350 degrees F.
  • Fry your cheeseburger bites, careful not to overcrowd, until they are brown and crispy.
  • Set your fried cheeseburger bites on a cooling rack with paper towels underneath to catch any oil drippings.
  • Repeat until all cheeseburger bites are fried.
  • Then, serve with your favorite dipping sauce like mustard, ketchup, special sauce, etc. Enjoy!

Notes

You could also add ground mustard, jalapeño, tomato, bacon, etc. to your ground beef mixture for additional options.
