Ingredients and Calories
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Ground beef | 1 pound |
| BBQ sauce | 1/2 cup |
| Slider buns | 8 small buns |
| Cheddar cheese | 4 slices |
| Lettuce | 1 cup, shredded |
| Tomato | 1, sliced |
| Pickles | Optional, sliced |
| Olive oil | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Pepper | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Onion | 1 small, diced |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by gathering all the ingredients listed in the table. Make sure your ground beef is fresh, as it will be the star of the show. Chop the onion and slice the tomato so they’re ready to go. Preheat your grill or stovetop pan to medium-high heat. This ensures that your sliders will cook evenly and develop a nice char.
Step 2: Form the Slider Patties
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the sliders tough. Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and shape them into small patties. Aim for a thickness of about half an inch, as they will shrink a bit while cooking.
Step 3: Cook the Patties
Drizzle olive oil onto your preheated grill or pan. Carefully place the patties onto the surface, ensuring there’s enough space between them for even cooking. Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. If you’re using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to let it melt beautifully.
Step 4: Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, you can toast the slider buns. Cut each bun in half and place them cut-side down on the grill for a minute or two until they’re golden and slightly crispy. This adds an extra layer of flavor and texture, making your sliders even more enjoyable. Be sure to keep an eye on them, as they can burn quickly!
Step 5: Assemble the Sliders
Once the patties are ready and the cheese is melted, it’s time to assemble the sliders. Start with the bottom half of the bun, place a patty on top, and then add shredded lettuce and a slice of tomato. If your kids enjoy pickles, feel free to add a slice or two. Top with the other half of the bun and press down gently to keep everything in place.
Step 6: Serve with a Side
These BBQ sliders pair wonderfully with various sides. Consider serving them with sweet potato fries or a colorful fruit salad. You can also prepare a small dipping sauce using extra BBQ sauce or a homemade ranch dressing to make the meal even more exciting. Kids love to dip, and it adds a fun element to the dining experience.
Step 7: Make it a Family Affair
Involve your kids in the cooking process! Let them help shape the patties, choose their toppings, or even assemble their own sliders. This makes mealtime more interactive and can encourage picky eaters to try new flavors. Plus, it’s a great way to bond over cooking together, creating lasting memories in the kitchen.
Step 8: Enjoy the Meal
Once everything is assembled, it’s time to dig in! Sit down together as a family and enjoy these delicious BBQ sliders. The combination of flavors, the gooey melted cheese, and the fresh toppings will delight both kids and adults. Don’t forget to share your sliders on social media—these cute little bites are definitely Instagram-worthy!
