Description

Succulent cheeseburger sliders showcase mini beef patties nestled between fluffy potato rolls with melted cheese and classic condiments. Guests will devour these crowd-pleasing mini sandwiches that deliver maximum flavor in compact, irresistible bites.


Ingredients

Scale

Meat:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef

Seasonings:

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Buns and Cheese:

  • 8 slider buns
  • 4 slices of cheddar cheese (cut in halves)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)

Optional Toppings:

  • lettuce
  • pickles
  • ketchup
  • mustard

Instructions

  1. Create compact beef patties by gently mixing ground beef with aromatic seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Partition the seasoned meat into 8 uniform miniature portions, carefully shaping each into a petite round patty.
  3. Warm a skillet over medium heat and sear the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown exterior develops.
  4. Position the cooked patties onto slider buns, layering with cheese slices and preferred condiments.
  5. Generously brush the bun surfaces with melted butter for enhanced flavor and golden crispness.
  6. Transfer the prepared sliders to a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven, allowing them to bake for 5-7 minutes until cheese melts completely and buns acquire a light toast.
  7. Remove from oven, let rest momentarily, and serve these delectable mini burgers while piping hot, ensuring maximum taste and textural enjoyment.

Notes

  • Customize patty thickness for even cooking by using a burger press or gently pressing with fingertips to create uniform slider-sized patties.
  • Opt for high-fat ground beef like 80/20 to ensure juicy, flavorful sliders that won’t dry out during cooking.
  • Add extra moisture and depth by mixing finely chopped onions or Worcestershire sauce into the ground beef before forming patties.
  • Experiment with cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or blue cheese to elevate flavor profiles and create unique slider experiences.
