Burger Patties

Slider Buns

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Shape the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine, then divide the mixture into 12 equal portions.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten them into discs about 1/2 inch thick. Make an indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cook the Burgers

  1. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottom pan over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 4

    Sear the Patties

    Place the patties in the skillet, leaving space between them. Use a spatula to smash each patty down firmly until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges are crispy.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patties and place a slice of cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked through.

Assemble the Sliders

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the slider buns in half and toast them lightly if desired.

  2. 7

    Add the Patties

    Place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each slider bun.

  3. 8

    Add Toppings

    Top each patty with a slice of pickle, a dollop of ketchup, a drizzle of mustard, a few leaves of lettuce, and a slice of tomato. Place the top half of the bun on each slider.
