Sliders Recipe

Preparing the Sliders

1. 1

   Mix the Beef

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

2. 2

   Shape the Patties

   Divide the mixture into 25 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about 2 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty. Cover the skillet or grill with a lid to melt the cheese.

5. 5

   Prepare the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, slice the slider buns in half. If desired, toast the buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

6. 6

   Assemble the Sliders

   Place each patty on the bottom half of a slider bun. Top with a slice of pickle, a squirt of ketchup, and a squirt of mustard. Place the top half of the bun over the toppings.

7. 7

   Serve

   Arrange the sliders on a platter and serve immediately while hot.
