Let’s Make it together

Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients on the countertop so you’re ready to roll without scrambling around later.

Form Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef with salt and pepper. Shape into small patties about 2-3 inches wide; aim for uniform thickness.

Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side until they’re browned and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Add Cheese: Place one slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover with a lid so it melts perfectly!

Toast Slider Buns: While cheese melts, lightly toast slider buns on another pan until golden brown; this adds an appealing crunch.

Assemble Your Sliders: Layer lettuce and sliced tomatoes on bottom buns. Add each cheesy patty followed by ketchup and mustard—don’t be shy with those toppings!

Now you have a platter full of mouthwatering cheeseburger sliders just waiting for your hungry guests—or yourself—to dive in! Enjoy them at parties or while binge-watching your favorite show; either way, they’ll steal the spotlight!
