Preheat a skillet with a lid over medium heat.
Add the bacon to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until it becomes crisp. This should take about 12 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into mini patties. Set them aside.
Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and set it aside.
Add the mini patties to the skillet and cook until they are well browned on all sides and cooked through. This should take about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Place 2 quarters of cheese on top of each mini patty. Cover the skillet with the lid and allow the cheese to melt for approximately 1 minute.
Transfer the cooked mini patties to a plate.
Tear the bacon into bite-size pieces.
Begin assembling the burger bites by placing a piece of bacon on top of each mini patty.
Add a couple of folded spinach leaves, a few pickles, a dollop of your preferred burger condiment, and half a tomato on top of each mini patty.
Secure all the ingredients with a toothpick or small skewer.
Repeat steps 10-12 until all the mini patties are assembled.
Serve and enjoy!
