01 - 1.1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
02 - 1 tsp salt
03 - ½ tsp black pepper
04 - ½ tsp garlic powder
→ Special Sauce
05 - 4 tbsp mayonnaise
06 - 2 tbsp ketchup
07 - 1 tbsp yellow mustard
08 - 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
09 - ½ tsp smoked paprika
10 - ½ tsp onion powder
→ Sliders Assembly
11 - 12 mini slider buns
12 - 6 slices cheddar cheese, halved
13 - 12 dill pickle slices
14 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
15 - 1 small tomato, thinly sliced (optional)
16 - 1 cup shredded lettuce (optional)
17 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for brushing buns)
18 - 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
# How to Make It:
01 - In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Chill until ready to use.
02 - In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Gently mix. Divide into 12 equal portions and shape into small patties, slightly larger than the buns (they will shrink when cooked).
03 - Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. In the last minute, top each patty with a half-slice of cheddar cheese to melt.
04 - Brush the cut sides of buns with melted butter. Toast in a dry skillet or in the oven until golden.
05 - Spread special sauce on both the top and bottom buns. Place a cheesy patty on each bottom bun, top with a pickle slice, onion, tomato, and lettuce as desired. Cap with the top bun. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
06 - Serve immediately while hot.
