Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef
• 12 buns slider buns
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• 12 slices pickles
• 1 medium onion
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 0.25 cup mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat (about 375°F).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine 1.5 pounds of ground beef with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

3. 3

   Divide the beef mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about 2 inches wide and 0.5 inches thick.

4. 4

   Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the grill or skillet. Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.

5. 5

   Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

6. 6

   While the patties are cooking, thinly slice 1 medium onion and prepare the slider buns by slicing them in half.

7. 7

   Remove the patties from the grill or skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes.

8. 8

   Assemble the sliders: Place each patty on the bottom half of a slider bun, top with a slice of pickle, a few slices of onion, and a drizzle of ketchup and mustard.

9. 9

   Place the top half of the bun on each slider and serve immediately.
