- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 6-8 minutes
- Total Time: 16-18 minutes
- Yield: 12 sliders 1x
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 12 slider buns
- Sliced cheese (such as cheddar or American)
- Pickles, sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, celery seed, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to incorporate.
- Divide the seasoned beef into 12 equal portions and shape them into small patties, slightly larger than the size of the slider buns.
- Grill or cook the patties on the skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add a slice of cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
- As the patties cook, lightly toast the slider buns on the grill or in a toaster.
- 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 with pickles and a sprinkle of chopped onions. Close with the top bun.
- Serve immediately and savor the irresistible cheeseburger sliders!
Notes
Use ground beef with a slightly higher fat content (around 80/20) for juicier and more flavorful patties. Season the beef well and handle it gently when forming the patties to avoid overmixing and tough burgers. Experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or Swiss, to add variety to your sliders. Customize the toppings to your liking by adding bacon, avocado, or your favorite sauce. Serve these sliders alongside crispy french fries, sweet potato fries, or a side salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
