Ingredients
Scale
Slider Patties
- 500g ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Assembly
- 4 slider buns
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- Pickle slices, as desired
- Butter, for toasting buns
Instructions
- Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to keep patties tender.
- Form Patties: Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each into small patties, slightly larger in diameter than the slider buns to account for shrinkage during cooking.
- Cook Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Add Cheese: During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
- Toast Buns: While the patties cook, butter the slider buns lightly and toast them in a separate pan or skillet until golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble Sliders: On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a cheesy patty followed by pickle slices. Top with the bun lids.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For juicier patties, avoid over-mixing the meat mixture.
- Use fresh pickles for a crunchy, tangy bite.
- Customize toppings by adding lettuce, tomato, or your favorite condiments if desired.
- Cook patties to a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for ground beef.
- Butter the buns just before toasting for optimal flavor and crispiness.
