Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450 grams) ground beef (80/20)
- 8 mini slider buns (preferably brioche-style)
- 8 thin slices American or cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened (for toasting buns)
- Optional toppings: ketchup, mustard, pickles, lettuce
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (about 2 ounces or 55 grams each). Roll each into a ball and flatten to about 2.5 inches (6 cm) diameter.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add a light coating of oil or butter if needed.
- Place patties in the skillet with space between each. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until juices pool and bottom is browned.
- Flip patties carefully and immediately place a slice of cheese on each. Cook another 3 minutes or until cheese melts and internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- While patties cook, spread softened butter on cut side of slider buns. Toast in a separate pan or toaster oven until golden and slightly crisp, about 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble sliders by placing each patty on a toasted bun bottom. Add desired toppings and cover with bun crown. Press lightly.
- Serve warm immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
Do not overmix the meat to keep patties juicy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure patties reach 160°F (71°C). Toast buns with butter to prevent sogginess. Patties can be kept warm in a low oven before serving. For gluten-free, use gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps. Patties can be frozen individually for up to 2 months.
