Ingredients
Scale
Meat & Cheese
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 8–10 slices cheddar cheese
Buns & Bread
- 8–10 slider buns, soft and small
- 2 tbsp butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Toppings & Condiments
- Pickle slices
- Onion slices
- Ketchup, to taste
- Mustard, to taste
Seasonings
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: Divide the ground beef into 8 to 10 small portions (about 2 ounces each) and gently shape them into thin patties slightly larger than the slider buns. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute to melt.
- Toast the Buns: Slice slider buns if not pre-sliced. Toast cut sides in butter on a pan or grill until golden and slightly crispy for added texture and flavor.
- Assemble the Sliders: Layer the toasted bun bottom with a cheeseburger patty, a slice of onion, pickle slices, and a squirt of ketchup and mustard. Top with the bun lid and secure with a toothpick if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange sliders on a platter and serve immediately alongside your favorite drinks and sides.
Notes
- Don’t overwork the meat to keep patties tender.
- Make patties slightly thinner than buns for even cooking and perfect fit.
- Add cheese in the last minute of cooking for a melty finish.
- Toast buns with butter to enhance flavor and prevent sogginess.
- Use toothpicks to keep sliders stable when serving.
