Classic American Sliders are juicy, bite-sized burgers packed with flavour. Perfect for parties, game day, or weeknight dinners, these mini sandwiches are easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser with melty cheese and soft slider buns.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs ground beef 80/20 blend
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 12 slider buns
- 6 slices American cheese halved
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- Optional toppings: pickles ketchup, mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions
Instructions
Preheat Grill or Skillet:
- Heat grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Form Patties:
- Divide ground beef into 12 equal portions and shape into small patties slightly larger than the buns. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Cook Patties:
- Grill or cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. During the last minute, place half a cheese slice on each patty to melt.
Toast Buns:
- Brush slider buns with melted butter and toast lightly on the grill or skillet until golden.
Assemble Sliders:
- Place each patty on a bottom bun and top with your favourite toppings. Cover with top bun and serve warm.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Shape patties in advance and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Mini Party Bar: Serve toppings on the side so guests can build their own sliders.
- Cheese Swaps: Try cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack for variety.
- Slider Hack: Bake patties in a sheet pan for easy bulk cooking.
- Serving Suggestion: Great with fries, chips, or a side salad.
