In a medium bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently to combine, then form into 6 equal-sized patties (about 2.5 inches in diameter). Set aside.
Thinly slice the yellow onion. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and sugar, then cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply caramelized. Set aside.
Prepare the secret sauce by combining mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and pickle relish in a small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Place the beef patties onto the hot surface and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until your desired level of doneness is achieved. During the final minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
Lightly toast the slider buns in a separate pan or under a broiler until golden brown.
To assemble each slider, spread a layer of the secret sauce on the bottom bun, followed by a cheese-topped beef patty. Add a spoonful of caramelized onions on top, then crown with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy these gourmet sliders with your favorite side dishes or beverages!
