Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 pieces Whole wheat slider buns
- 8 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 8 slices Low-sodium cheddar cheese, sliced (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix gently until just combined.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties that are slightly larger than the slider buns, as they will shrink slightly when cooked.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the beef patties in the hot pan, being careful not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side until nicely browned.
Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until cooked through to your liking. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty for the last minute of cooking to let it melt.
Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for a minute.
To assemble the sliders, place a piece of lettuce on the bottom half of each whole wheat slider bun. Follow with a cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and some slices of red onion.
Top each slider with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy your juicy, low-sodium beef sliders!
