Combine quinoa and chicken broth in a small saucepan then bring to a boil. Place a lid on top then lower heat and simmer until quinoa has absorbed all the broth and is tender, ⏱️ 10 minutes or so. Fluff then set aside to cool.

Meanwhile add bacon to a medium-sized skillet over medium heat then cook until crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain then chop or crumble when cool enough to handle. Turn heat up to medium-high then add beef to bacon grease, season with salt and pepper, and saute until cooked through. Drain beef then return to skillet and stir in worcestershire sauce. Set aside to cool.

In a large bowl combine slightly cooled quinoa, beef, bacon, cheese, pickles, ketchup, mustard, eggs, salt, and pepper then stir until well combined. Spray mini muffin tins VERY well with nonstick spray then scoop mixture to the top of each mini cup. Place back on top of baking sheet then bake for ⏱️ 15-20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Let bites cool in the muffin tins for ⏱️ 5 minutes before running a knife around the outside edges and popping out.
