Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Beef Cracker Bites
Crispy buttery crackers are topped with seasoned-style ground beef and sharp cheddar, then baked until hot, melted, and lightly golden. These easy three-ingredient bites are simple, savory, and perfect for parties, snacks, game day, or casual family appetizers.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20 preferred
- 1 sleeve buttery round crackers about 30 to 35 crackers
- 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded or thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.
- Drain the grease well so the crackers stay crisp.
- Arrange the buttery round crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cooked beef onto each cracker.
- Top each cracker with shredded or thinly sliced sharp cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and lightly golden around the edges.
- Let the cracker bites cool for 2–3 minutes before moving or serving.
Notes
Drain the beef thoroughly to keep the crackers from softening. Freshly shredded cheddar melts best, but pre-shredded works in a pinch.
