Cheeseburger sliders are a delightful twist on the classic burger, offering a fun and shareable option for any gathering. Originating from the American culinary landscape, sliders are mini sandwiches that pack all the flavor of their larger counterparts into a small, convenient package. They are popular at parties and casual gatherings because they are easy to make, serve, and eat, providing the perfect bite-sized treat for guests.
Servings: Serves 8 people
Appliances/Utensils:
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 12 slider buns
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well in a mixing bowl.
3. Shape the beef mixture into small patties, about the size of your slider buns.
4. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked.
5. Place the cooked patties on a baking sheet and top each with a slice of cheddar cheese. Transfer to the oven and bake for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
6. While the patties are baking, slice the slider buns in half.
7. On the bottom half of each bun, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise followed by ketchup.
8. Place a cheesy patty on each prepared bun half, then top with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles.
9. Cover with the top half of the bun and secure with a toothpick, if necessary.
Tips and Suggestions:
- For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the mayonnaise before spreading it on the buns.
- If you prefer, use other types of cheese like Swiss or pepper jack.
- To make these sliders gluten-free, use gluten-free slider buns.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the cheeseburger sliders with a side of crispy fries or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal.
