Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 1 lb Ground Beef Use an 80/20 blend for optimal juiciness; substitute with ground turkey for a leaner option.
  • 1 tsp Salt Essential for enhancing flavor; adjust based on personal preference.
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper Freshly ground adds great depth.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Offers a savory aroma; fresh minced garlic can amp up the flavor even further.
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder Boosts the savory quality of the meat.
For the Buns
  • 4 pieces Slider Buns Pick your favorite type; brioche or whole wheat add unique flavors and textures.
For the Toppings (Optional)
  • 1 cup Lettuce Fresh greens add a crunchy bite; try romaine for a classic touch.
  • 1 large Tomato Sliced tomatoes provide a juicy contrast.
  • 4 slices Cheese Cheddar or pepper jack melts beautifully on top of the patties.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Combine ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large mixing bowl. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and shape into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
  3. Preheat grill or skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add a small splash of oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Place patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook an additional 4-5 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Transfer patties to a plate to rest for a couple of minutes. Toast slider buns on the grill or in a toaster.
  6. Assemble sliders by placing a cooked patty on each bun and adding desired toppings.
