Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
  • 12 slider buns
  • 6 slices of cheddar cheese (cut in half)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup (optional)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • Lettuce, tomato, pickles, and any other toppings you like

Ingredient Highlights

  • Ground Beef: Choose 80% lean ground beef for a juicy, flavorful patty with the right balance of fat.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Classic cheddar cheese melts perfectly on top of the beef patty, adding a rich and savory flavor.
  • Slider Buns: Soft, small buns are perfect for holding the mini patties and absorbing the juices.
  • Worcestershire Sauce: Adds a depth of flavor to the beef patties, making them extra savory.
  • Toppings: Feel free to customize your sliders with your favorite toppings like onions, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and sauces.

Instructions

Prepare the Patties:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick baking mat.
  2. Season the Beef: In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape them into small patties, slightly smaller than the slider buns.
  3. Cook the Patties: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are browned and cooked through. You can also cook them on a grill for extra flavor.
  4. Add the Cheese: Place half a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty in the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt over the top.

Assemble the Sliders:

  1. Toast the Buns: While the patties cook, slice the slider buns in half. You can toast them lightly on the skillet or in the oven for a minute to make them crisp and golden.
  2. Assemble the Sliders: Place a cooked patty on each bottom bun. Top with your favorite condiments (mustard, ketchup) and fresh toppings like lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Add the top buns to complete the sliders.
  3. Serve: Arrange the sliders on a serving platter and serve immediately while warm.
