Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 8 slider buns
  • 8-optional cheese slices (cheddar or pepper jack)
  • 8–12 dill pickle slices
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter (for grilling and toasting)

Condiments

  • Mustard or aioli sauce, for spreading (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Patties: Shape the ground beef into small, evenly sized patties about two inches in diameter to ensure quick and uniform cooking for perfect slider bites.
  2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high temperature. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking and create classic grill marks on the patties.
  3. Season and Grill the Patties: Season both sides of each patty generously with salt and pepper. Place patties on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until they develop a smoky crust and reach your desired level of doneness.
  4. Add Cheese and Toast Buns: If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of grilling to melt. Simultaneously, toast the slider buns cut side down on the grill until lightly browned and crisp.
  5. Assemble the Sliders: Spread mustard or aioli on the toasted buns. Place grilled beef patties on the bottom halves of the buns, top each with crunchy pickle slices, and finish by adding the bun tops.

Notes

  • Use fresh ground beef with approximately 20% fat content for juicy, flavorful patties.
  • Handle the beef gently when forming patties to avoid dense, tough sliders.
  • Keep patties small for faster cooking and easier eating.
  • Let the patties rest a few minutes after grilling to lock in juices.
  • Always use crisp, fresh pickles for optimal texture contrast with warm beef.
