Method

Burgers

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Gently mix to incorporate, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 1/4 inch larger than the slider buns. Make a shallow dent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

  3. 3

    Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly brush with neutral oil.

  4. 4

    Butter the cut sides of the slider buns. Place buns, buttered side down, in the hot skillet and toast until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and keep warm.

  5. 5

    Cook the patties in the hot skillet. For medium doneness, cook about 2-3 minutes per side. Flip once and avoid pressing down on the patties.

  6. 6

    During the last 60-90 seconds of cooking, place a cheese slice on each patty and let it melt.

  7. 7

    Prepare toppings: rinse and pat dry lettuce; slice tomato into 8 thin rounds; thinly slice red onion; arrange pickle slices on a plate.

  8. 8

    Assemble each mini hamburger: spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom bun, add a mustard dot if desired, place the cheesy patty on top, add lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles, then crown with the top bun.
