These sliders pack a smash-burger crust and gooey cheddar into pull-apart rolls, finished with crisp pickle slices for tang. Quick to assemble on a griddle or skillet, they suit game-day spreads, casual dinners, or backyard cookouts. A brush of butter and toasted rolls keep every bite from getting soggy.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 80/20
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 12 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 12 slider buns
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle slices
  • 1/2 cup yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced

Method

  1. In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder just until combined.

  2. Divide the beef mixture into 12 equal portions and shape into thin patties slightly larger than the slider buns.

  3. Heat a 9-inch skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook patties 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing down with a spatula for a browned crust.

  4. Scatter diced onion over the skillet in the last minute of cooking each batch, then top each patty with a slice of cheddar and cover until melted, about 1 minute.

  5. Split the slider buns and brush the cut sides with melted butter.

  6. Toast the buttered buns cut-side down in the skillet until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes.

  7. Spread mustard and ketchup on the bun bottoms, then layer on the cheesy beef patties and pickle slices.

  8. Cap with bun tops and serve warm.
