Ingredients

Scale

Beef Patties

  • 1 lb ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat recommended)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: smoked paprika or garlic powder, to taste

Toppings & Condiments

  • Crunchy dill pickles, sliced (about 1 cup)
  • Cheese slices (sharp cheddar or Swiss recommended, optional)
  • Mustard or special sauce of choice

Buns

  • Soft slider buns (6-8 small buns)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Patties: Combine ground beef with salt, pepper, and optional seasonings. Gently form small, even patties sized to fit the slider buns, being careful not to overwork the meat to keep them juicy.
  2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, which helps create a smoky char and seals in moisture.
  3. Grill the Sliders: Place patties on the grill and cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes. If using cheese, add a slice during the last minute to melt before removing patties from the grill.
  4. Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the slider buns on the grill to add slight crispness that holds up to the juicy patties and toppings.
  5. Assemble with Pickles and Condiments: Layer each toasted bun with a grilled patty, generous slices of pickles, and your choice of condiments to create the signature tangy, smoky flavor.

Notes

  • Do not overwork the ground beef to maintain tender, juicy sliders.
  • Use fresh, crisp dill pickles for the best texture and tang without overpowering the meat.
  • Maintain medium-high grill temperature to get a perfect char without burning.
  • Let cooked patties rest a few minutes before assembling to lock in juices.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safe, perfectly cooked beef sliders.
