Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 20 slices American cheese
- 12 potato slider buns
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1/2–1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground oregano
Sauce and Toppings:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons French salad dressing
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 2 tablespoons minced white onion
- 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- Shredded lettuce
- 24 dill pickle chips
- 1/4 cup minced onions
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together sauce ingredients in a chilled mixing bowl, ensuring smooth consistency. Refrigerate to allow flavors to meld and intensify.
- Generously brush inside and top surfaces of slider buns with melted butter. Toast until achieving a golden-brown hue. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top bun surfaces if desired. Position cheese slice on bottom bun base.
- Heat skillet to medium-high temperature. Sauté seasoned ground beef, breaking into crumbly texture. Drain excess fat thoroughly. Incorporate remaining cheese, stirring until completely melted and evenly distributed.
- Transfer beef mixture onto prepared cheese-lined bottom buns. Place assembled sliders in preheated 375°F oven for 3-4 minutes, ensuring cheese melts perfectly and meat remains warm.
- Layer crisp lettuce and tangy pickle slices atop beef. Generously spread prepared sauce across top bun interiors. Sprinkle finely minced onions for additional flavor complexity. Carefully close sliders, pressing gently to marry all components.
Notes
- Create a zesty sauce by mixing ingredients ahead of time, allowing flavors to meld and intensify in the refrigerator.
- Butter and toast buns thoroughly for a golden, crispy exterior that adds delightful texture and rich flavor to sliders.
- Drain excess beef grease completely to prevent soggy buns and ensure a perfectly crisp bottom.
- Customize sliders by experimenting with different cheese types like sharp cheddar or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
- Make these sliders gluten-free by using lettuce wraps instead of traditional buns, perfect for low-carb diets.
- Prep ingredients in advance for quick assembly, making these sliders ideal for game day or unexpected guests.
