Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 12 slider buns or small dinner rolls
- 12 slices American cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Optional toppings: diced pickles, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise as desired
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Divide the beef mixture into 12 equal portions and shape into small patties, slightly larger than the slider buns to account for shrinkage.
- Cook patties in the preheated skillet for 2–3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
- In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
- While the patties cook, split the slider buns and lightly toast them in a separate pan or under the broiler until golden.
- Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter for added flavor.
- Assemble sliders by placing the cheesy beef patties on the bottom buns and topping with desired condiments and toppings.
- Place the top buns over the fillings and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve with a side of fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal. These sliders are ideal for game day, picnics, or casual gatherings.
