Mini Burgers On A Stick

I made these for the housewarming party and despite the fact that they were veggie burgers, the 2 cookie sheets I made of them ( like 75) were gone! They even came with a fancy dipping sauce that tastes like it is soooo much more work than it really is, 2 ingredients. So if you are invited to a party and have NO idea what to bring, I am telling you - when people hear 'meat on a stick' even if it's fake, they come running.

Cheese"burgers" On A Stick
Courtesy of Vegetarian Times
Ingredients:

4   whole-wheat English muffin halves, quartered
4   vegetarian burgers, Grillers Prime by Morningstar
16   red onion wedges (1/2 medium onion)
16   cherry tomatoes
8 ounces  reduced-fat Cheddar cheese, cut into 16 cubes
12 mini pickles, cut into thirds



Ketchup Dip
1/2 cup  plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup  ketchup

Instructions:

1. Thread English muffin wedge, veggie burger wedge, onion wedge, and cherry tomato onto skewer. Sandwich Cheddar cube between 2 pickle slices, if desired, and slide onto skewer. Continue adding ingredients until each of 4 skewers holds 4 English muffin quarters, 4 burger quarters, 4 onion wedges, 4 cherry tomatoes, and 4 pickle-cheese sandwiches.
2.  You can make these on the grill or throw them in an oven at 325. Be careful and watch them, only 3 minutes a side on the grill OR 5-6 minutes in the oven - the cheese will melt if you leave it any longer!
3. Whisk together yogurt and ketchup in bowl and serve as a dipping sauce.
