Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 8 slider buns
- 1 cup crispy fried onions

Instructions
- Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef with BBQ sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Work gently until just combined.
- Shape and Cook the Sliders: Divide the mixture into even portions and form slider patties. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Make Crispy Onions (if using fresh): Slice onions thinly, soak them in buttermilk for 30 minutes, then coat with seasoned flour and fry until golden brown.
- Assemble the Sliders: Place each patty on a slider bun, top with crispy onions, and tangy pickles. Drizzle with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Gather your loved ones around and serve with coleslaw or potato salad on the side.
Notes
For a healthier option, consider using lean turkey or plant-based ground meat. Also, feel free to add cheese during the last minute of cooking for extra flavor.
