Preparation Steps

• Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, but don’t overwork the meat.
• Shape the beef mixture into small patties, about the size of the slider buns. To ensure even cooking, make them slightly thinner in the center.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
• While the cheese is melting, place the slider buns on a baking sheet. You can warm them in the oven, if you like! Then, layer the cooked patties on the bottom halves of the buns.
• Top the patties with pickles, ketchup, and mustard, placing the tops of the buns on each slider. Serve them warm, and watch your guests devour these delicious treats!
