Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I think these were originally called Poor Man Cheeseburgers but my notes app kept changing the name to Poor Mama Cheeseburgers so that’s what we are going with. These were a huge hit with the kids and so easy to make! No flipping burgers or looking for the prefect doneness! These are easy peasy!

As always, please share your own recommendations on how to make this dish healthier, more kid friendly, swap ideas, and budget shopping tips in the comments!
