Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, quartered
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian or brioche)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon sweet relish
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Dill pickles (optional)
- Shredded lettuce (optional)
- Sliced tomatoes (optional)
- Thinly sliced red onion (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide meat mixture into 12 equal portions (about 1.3 oz each). Form into patties slightly larger than your buns. Press a small indent in the center of each patty.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Place patties in the skillet without overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes until a golden crust forms.
- Flip patties and cook for another 1-2 minutes for medium doneness.
- Place a quarter slice of cheddar on each patty. Cover the skillet for about 30 seconds until cheese melts.
- Meanwhile, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and sweet relish in a small bowl for the slider sauce.
- Brush melted butter on the cut sides of slider buns and toast in a separate skillet until golden brown.
- Spread slider sauce on both halves of the buns.
- Place cheese-topped patties on bottom buns and add optional toppings like pickles, lettuce, tomato, or onion.
- Top with remaining bun halves and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For juicier sliders, avoid overworking the meat mixture when forming patties.
- Make the patties slightly larger than your buns as they will shrink during cooking.
- For a party presentation, arrange assembled sliders on a large platter with extra pickles on the side.
