Burger Sliders

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each into a small slider patty, about 2 inches in diameter.

Grilling the Sliders

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Patties

    Place the slider patties on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Assembling the Sliders

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the slider buns lightly on the grill for about 1 minute until golden.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sliders

    On the bottom half of each toasted slider bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the grilled patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, a pickle slice, and a dollop of burger sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
