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
- Create compact beef patties by gently mixing ground beef with aromatic seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Partition the seasoned meat into 8 uniform miniature portions, carefully shaping each into a petite round patty.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat and sear the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown exterior develops.
- Position the cooked patties onto slider buns, layering with cheese slices and preferred condiments.
- Generously brush the bun surfaces with melted butter for enhanced flavor and golden crispness.
- 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.
- 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.
