Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Ground Beef: 1 pound, preferably with some fat content
- Slider Buns: 12 soft brioche or sesame buns
- Cheddar Cheese: 12 slices, or any preferred cheese variety
Fresh Toppings
- Lettuce: 1 cup, shredded
- Tomato: 1 large, sliced
- Pickles: 1 cup, sliced
Condiments
- Ketchup: to taste
- Mustard: to taste
- Mayonnaise: to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with your chosen spices and shape into small patties. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Patties
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, adding a slice of cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt perfectly.
- Assemble the Sliders
Slice the slider buns in half and lightly toast them. Place each cooked patty on the bottom half of a bun, followed by your desired toppings.
- Serve and Enjoy
Cover with the top halves of the buns and arrange your Cheeseburger Mini Sliders on a serving platter, ready for your guests to dig in!
Notes
- Don’t Overwork the Meat: Handle the ground beef gently to keep the patties tender rather than tough.
- Check for Doneness: Ensure patties are cooked to at least 160°F for food safety.
- Prep Ahead: Form the patties and refrigerate them before cooking to save time during party prep.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh toppings and quality cheese make a significant difference in taste.
- Keep It Warm: If serving later, place the sliders in a warming tray to keep everything deliciously warm for your guests.
