Method

Preparing the Beef Patties

  1. 1

    Mixing Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Forming Patties

    Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about 2 inches in diameter. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Grilling or Pan-frying

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.

Preparing the Buns

  1. 4

    Toasting the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, melt the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Place the mini buns cut-side down in the skillet and toast until golden brown.

Assembling the Sliders

  1. 5

    Building the Sliders

    Once the patties are cooked and the buns are toasted, assemble the sliders by placing a beef patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with house-made pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired. Cap with the top half of the bun.
