56g shredded cheddar, fat-free

# How to Make It:
01 -
Set your oven to 200°C. Lightly spray a 24-cup nonstick mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
02 -
In a big skillet on medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it’s no longer pink. Move it to a plate and let it cool for a moment.
03 -
In a big bowl, mix together the egg whites, fat-free cheddar, parmesan, breadcrumbs, reduced sugar ketchup, mustard, and the diced dill pickles.
04 -
Stir the cooled beef into the bowl and mix until everything’s well combined.
05 -
Evenly divide the mixture into the muffin tins. Fill each spot and clean any overflow between the cups.
06 -
Bake for 23 to 25 minutes until the tops are golden brown and firm. If you’re using a regular muffin tin, you might need to bake for 3 to 5 more minutes.
# Extra Information:
01 -
If the bottom of the bites seems soft after baking, just add a few more minutes to the cook time but watch it to avoid burning.
02 -
Different ingredients might change how long you need to cook; don’t hesitate to adjust.
