# What You'll Need:
→ Beef Patties
01 - 1.1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
02 - 1 tsp salt
03 - ½ tsp black pepper
04 - ½ tsp garlic powder
→ Special Sauce
05 - 4 tbsp mayonnaise
06 - 2 tbsp ketchup
07 - 1 tbsp yellow mustard
08 - 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
09 - ½ tsp smoked paprika
10 - ½ tsp onion powder
→ Sliders Assembly
11 - 12 mini slider buns
12 - 6 slices cheddar cheese, halved
13 - 12 dill pickle slices
14 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
15 - 1 small tomato, thinly sliced (optional)
16 - 1 cup shredded lettuce (optional)
17 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for brushing buns)
18 - 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
# How To Make:
01 - Combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, sweet pickle relish, smoked paprika, and onion powder in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and chill until needed.
02 - Mix ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder gently in a large bowl. Divide into 12 equal portions and shape each into a patty slightly larger than the buns to allow for shrinkage during cooking.
03 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and fully cooked. In the last minute, place half a slice of cheddar on each patty to melt.
04 - Brush cut sides of mini buns with melted butter. Toast in a dry skillet or oven until golden brown.
05 - Spread special sauce on both top and bottom buns. Layer bottom bun with cheesy patty, dill pickle slice, optional onion, tomato, and lettuce. Cover with the top bun and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
06 - Serve sliders immediately while hot for optimal flavor and texture.
