Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter version)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 6–8 slider buns
- 6–8 slices cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tomato, thinly sliced
- Lettuce leaves
- Pickles, sliced
- Ketchup, mayonnaise, or burger sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the beef mixture: Place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until all ingredients are combined evenly. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
- Shape the patties: Divide the beef mixture into 6–8 equal portions. Shape each into a small patty slightly larger than the slider bun. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for about 10–15 minutes.
- Heat the skillet: Set a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add olive oil or butter and let it heat until shimmering.
- Cook the patties: Place the patties on the hot surface. Cook each side for 2–3 minutes until browned and cooked through. When flipping, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty and allow it to melt.
- Toast the buns: While the patties finish cooking, lightly toast the slider buns in the skillet or oven for 1–2 minutes until golden.
- Assemble the sliders: Spread ketchup, mayonnaise, or sauce of your choice on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and the hot, cheesy patty. Top with pickles and cover with the top bun.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm. Arrange them on a serving platter and enjoy with fries, salad, or any side dish of your choice.
Notes
Do not press the patties while cooking; it helps retain their juiciness.
Toasting the buns adds texture and prevents them from getting soggy.
You can double the recipe for large gatherings or parties.
For extra flavor, sauté onions before adding them to the sliders.
