Beef Cracker Bites

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound lean ground beef 90/10

48 buttery round crackers

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles as it browns.

Once the beef is fully cooked, drain off any excess grease. Let the beef cool for 2-3 minutes.

Arrange the buttery round crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of cooked beef onto each cracker.

Top each beef-covered cracker with a generous pinch of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and lightly glossy.

Remove from the oven and let the bites cool for 2 minutes before serving so the cheese can set slightly.
