Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for optimal juiciness)
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 6 mini brioche buns
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese or American cheese
  • 1 tbsp butter (melted for brushing buns)
  • 6 slices of tomato
  • 6 lettuce leaves
  • 6 dill pickle slices
  • ketchup or spicy mayo for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper
  2. Mix gently and form the mixture into 6 equal slider-sized patties
  3. Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook sliders for 3 to 4 minutes per side
  4. Add cheese slices during the final minute of cooking and cover to melt
  5. Toast the buns lightly on the grill or in a pan with butter for added flavor
  6. Assemble the sliders by placing lettuce, tomato, and pickles on the bottom bun
  7. Top with the grilled patty and desired sauce, then finish with the top bun
  8. Serve these summer ground beef sliders immediately for best flavor and texture
  9. These sliders also pair great with coleslaw or grilled veggies for a balanced summer meal

Notes

  1. You can swap cheddar for pepper jack to add heat to your summer ground beef sliders
  2. Use lettuce wraps instead of buns for a low-carb variation
  3. Prep patties ahead and freeze to save time before your BBQ
  4. Mini burger presses help shape evenly sized patties
  5. To keep patties extra juicy, avoid overmixing the meat mixture
