Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 8 pieces Mini slider buns
- 8 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 8 small pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Cherry tomatoes (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Form the mixture into 8 small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking so it melts slightly.
While the burgers cook, prepare the special sauce by mixing the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, and yellow mustard in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Toast the slider buns in the same skillet or on the grill pan for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden and warmed through.
Assemble the mini burgers by spreading a generous amount of the special sauce on each slider bun's top and bottom halves. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a cooked slider patty, a slice of cherry tomato, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy these crowd-pleasing mini burgers with your favorite side dishes!
