Itty Bitty Gritties (sliders) Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Mixture

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until the spices are evenly distributed.

2. 2

   Form the Sliders

   Divide the beef mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about 2 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches thick.

3. 3

   Cook the Sliders

   Preheat a grill or skillet 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). During the last minute of cooking, place shredded cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.

4. 4

   Prepare the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, slice the slider buns in half. Lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.

5. 5

   Assemble the Sliders

   On the bottom half of each bun, place a cooked slider patty. Top with shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Place the top half of the bun on each slider.

6. 6

   Serve

   Arrange the sliders on a serving platter and serve immediately while warm.
