Method
Prepare the Buns
- 1
Toast the Buns
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the slider buns in half and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up. Spread butter evenly over the cut sides of each bun. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

Mix the Meat
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the sliders tender.

Form the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about 2 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick.

Cook the Patties
Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Assemble the Sliders

Add Cheese and Toppings
In the last minute of cooking the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt. Once melted, transfer the patties to the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Top each slider with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a few pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired.
