Equipment
- 1 Skillet
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Oven
- 1 Knife
- 1 Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 1 pound 450 grams ground beef
- 12 mini slider buns
- 6 slices of cheese
- 12 lettuce leaves
- 6 tomato slices
- 12 pickle slices
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
- Divide the ground beef into 12 equal portions and shape them into small patties slightly larger than the slider buns.
- Season the patties generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place the patties on the preheated skillet or grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- If using cheese, place a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
- While the patties are cooking, slice the slider buns in half and lightly toast them on a baking sheet in the oven or on the grill.
- Once the patties are cooked and the cheese is melted, assemble the sliders by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun.
- Top each patty with a lettuce leaf, tomato slice, and pickle slice.
- Add any desired condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise to the top half of the buns.
- Place the top half of the buns over the toppings to complete the sliders.
- Serve the Cheeseburger Sliders warm, and enjoy!
Notes
- Choosing Ground Beef - Use lean ground beef (such as 85/15 or 90/10) to minimize excess fat. You can also use ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives for a healthier option.
- Seasoning Patties - Don't skimp on seasoning the beef patties. Salt and pepper generously on both sides to enhance flavor.
- Cooking Patties - Cook the patties until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for food safety. Avoid pressing down on the patties with a spatula while cooking to retain juices.
