Description

Delicious sliders topped with crispy onions and tangy pickles, perfect for backyard gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 dill pickles, sliced
  • 4 soft potato rolls or classic burger buns
  • 1 cup cheese (optional, cheddar or pepper jack)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the patties: In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Form into patties slightly larger than the buns.
  2. Cook the onions: Cook sliced onions in a skillet over medium heat with oil until caramelized, about 15 minutes.
  3. Grill the patties: Cook patties on a preheated grill or skillet for 4-5 minutes per side, adding BBQ sauce and cheese in the last minute.
  4. Toast the buns: Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a pan until golden.
  5. Assemble the sliders: Place the cooked patty on each bun, top with crispy onions and pickle slices.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Provide extra pickles and BBQ sauce for customization.

Notes

For a lighter option, replace ground beef with ground turkey. Allow patties to rest after cooking for juicier sliders.
