Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 12 pieces Slider buns
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Pimentos (diced, drained)
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced, optional)
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 12 pieces Pickles (sliced, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, slightly larger than the slider buns to account for shrinkage during cooking.
Prepare the pimento cheese spread by combining the shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, diced pimentos, paprika, and green onions (if using) in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy, then refrigerate until ready to use.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Toast the slider buns cut-side down in the skillet until golden, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet or on a grill pan, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous layer of pimento cheese on the bottom halves of the toasted slider buns. Place a cooked burger patty on each, followed by a pickle slice if desired. Top with the remaining bun halves.
Serve the mini burgers immediately while warm. Enjoy!
