Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lean ground beef (95% lean)
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 6 slices Low-fat American cheese slices
- 6 buns Slider buns (whole wheat or low-fat)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 6 slices Pickle slices (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Spread the lean ground beef evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet to a 1/4 inch thickness. Use a rolling pin if necessary to ensure even thickness.
Sprinkle the ground beef with salt and black pepper.
Cut the flattened beef into 6 square patties, slightly larger than the slider buns.
In the skillet, add the diced onion and 1/4 cup of water. Cook over medium heat until the onions soften and become translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Push the onions to one side of the skillet. Place the beef patties on the other side, directly over the heat.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on the first side without flipping to allow the edges to brown slightly.
Flip the patties and place a small portion of the cooked onions directly on top of each patty. Add a slice of low-fat American cheese on top of the onions and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt, which takes about 1-2 minutes.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat or low-fat buns in another skillet or toaster, if desired.
Assemble the sliders by placing a patty with onions and melted cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Top with pickle slices, if using, and cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve warm and enjoy a guilt-free version of classic White Castle sliders!
