Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef (96% lean)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 8 buns whole wheat slider buns
- 8 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato tomato, sliced
- 0.5 onion red onion, sliced thin
- 0.25 cup light mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup yellow mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until well blended, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small patty, slightly larger than the diameter of the slider buns, as they will shrink while cooking.
Preheat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray if necessary.
Cook the beef patties for about 3 minutes on one side, until the bottom is well-browned. Flip the patties and place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty.
Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Meanwhile, toast the slider buns on a separate pan or in a toaster. If using a pan, simply place the buns, cut side down, on medium heat for about 2 minutes until lightly golden.
In a small bowl, mix the light mayonnaise and yellow mustard together to create a simple sauce.
To assemble the sliders, spread a small amount of the mayo-mustard sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on the sauced bun, followed by a slice of tomato.
Add the cooked beef patty with melted cheese. Top with a few slices of red onion.
Complete with the top half of the bun, pressing down gently for a snug fit.
Serve the sliders immediately, and enjoy the juicy, flavorful taste!
