Ingredients

• 1  refrigerated pie crust (Pillsbury)
• 1  tablespoon  chopped onion
• 10  ounces ground beef
• 2  tablespoons ketchup
• 1  tablespoon yellow mustard

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

3. Unroll pie crust; align a 4 inch biscuit cutter against the edge of the crust.
4. Cut out 1 circle; repeat, cutting the next as close as possible to the previous cut-out; you will get 5 circles.
5. Take 2 big pieces of dough and press them together so you can cut out 1 more circle.
6. Place each circle into a regular muffin cup; it will fit sot the edge of the crust is right at the top edge of the cup.
7. Mix the onion, ground beef, 2 T ketchup, 1 T yellow mustard, 1 T pickle relish, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and shredded cheese in a bowl until combined; divide among cups.
8. Break the American cheese into squares by folding the full piece in half then in half again to make 4 squares, then folding the ½ piece in half once to make 2 squares, for a total of 6 squares.
9. Place 1 square on top of each burger.
10. Bake for 20 minutes, until beef is cooked through.
11. Serve with additional ketchup, mustard, and relish.
