Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 ratio for juiciness)
- 8 slider buns (soft and slightly sweet work best)
- 8 slices of cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- Optional toppings: pickles, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, or sautéed onions
Instructions:
- Prepare the beef patties:
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—don’t overwork the meat to avoid tough patties. Divide the beef into 8 even portions and shape them into small, slightly larger-than-bun-sized patties. - Cook the patties:
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and cook the beef patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese. - Toast the buns:
While the patties are cooking, lightly butter the slider buns. Toast them in a separate pan or on the griddle until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. - Assemble the sliders:
Place the cooked beef patties with melted cheese onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add your favorite toppings (pickles, lettuce, tomato, etc.), then top with the other half of the bun. - Serve and enjoy:
Serve the sliders warm, and enjoy them with a side of chips, fries, or a fresh salad.
These sliders are so juicy, cheesy, and packed with flavor, they’ll be gone in no time! Perfect for feeding a crowd or just enjoying a quick, delicious meal.
