Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Slider buns (12)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Pickles and mustard for serving
Instructions
- In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized (about 15-20 minutes).
- While the onions cook, preheat a griddle or skillet over high heat.
- Form the ground beef into small balls (about 2 ounces each). Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the skillet is hot, place the beef balls on the griddle and smash them down with a spatula to create a thin patty.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges are crispy, then flip and top with cheddar cheese.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- To assemble, place the patties on slider buns, top with caramelized onions, pickles, and mustard. Serve warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef before cooking. These sliders can also be customized with your favorite toppings!
