Season minced beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Divide into 2 equal portions and shape into small patties slightly larger than the buns as they shrink during cooking.
Keep the patties chilled until ready to cook.
Heat a pan or grill with a little oil.
Cook the patties for 2–3 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
Place cheese on top of the patties during the last minute to melt.
Slice the buns and lightly butter the inside.
Toast the buns on a pan until they turn light golden.
Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard until smooth.
Spread the sauce on the bottom buns.
Add lettuce on top of the sauce.
Place the beef patty with melted cheese on top of the lettuce.
Add tomato slices and pickles.
Cover with the top bun.
Insert toothpicks to secure the sliders.
Serve the sliders as a set of 2 with French fries, coleslaw, and dipping sauces.
Ensure the patties are slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink during cooking.
Chill the patties before cooking to help them hold their shape.
Toast the buns lightly to add a nice crunch and prevent them from getting soggy.
Customize the sauce by adjusting the ratio of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard to your taste.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes, you can use any cheese that melts well, such as Swiss, Monterey Jack, or Gouda.
Can I make the patties ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the patties a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
Can I grill the patties instead of pan-frying?
Absolutely! Grilling the patties will add a smoky flavor to the sliders.
What can I serve with these sliders?
They pair well with French fries, coleslaw, and a variety of dipping sauces like barbecue or ranch.
Can I use regular-sized burger buns instead of mini buns?
Yes, but the recipe will yield fewer servings as the patties are sized for mini buns.
