Prepare the beef mixture. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until everything is well incorporated, but avoid over-mixing to keep the burgers tender.
Form the patties. Divide the beef mixture into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it slightly to form mini patties about 2 inches wide.
Cook the patties. Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the patties for about 3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness. If using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking.
Assemble the burgers. Toast the mini buns in the skillet or on the grill for about 1 minute. Place a cooked patty on each bun and top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and condiments as desired. Serve warm.
For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of mustard or smoked paprika to the beef mixture. You can swap out ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version. If grilling, brush the patties with a little olive oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill. Don't press down on the patties while cooking, as this will release their juices and make them drier.
