Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your Grill or Oven: Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if using the oven.
- Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly.
- Form the Patties: Divide the beef mixture into 12 equal portions and shape into patties. Make them slightly larger than your slider buns.
Cooking
- Cook the Patties: Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness or bake for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Add Cheese and BBQ Sauce: In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and brush with BBQ sauce.
Assembly
- Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider rolls in half and place a patty on each bottom half. Drizzle with BBQ sauce and add garnishes before covering with the top half.
Serving
- Serve warm with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
Pro Tips: Choose an 80/20 blend of beef, form uniform patties, and avoid overcooking. Customize the BBQ sauce as desired.
