Tips For Making The Best Sliders 

  • Make sure to mix the ingredients fully, so all the seasoning and cheese are well mixed in with the ground beef. 
  • Don’t make your patties too packed. Be light when you are mixing with your hands, as it will allow you to have a juicy and light texture. If you pack your burger patties it will be dense and heavy. 
  • Press your finger in the center of the patty, so as it cooks it will prevent the patty from shrinking up as much. 
  • Flavor your sliders the way you prefer. Even if it is a simple salt and pepper, or seasoning salt. You don’t have to use hamburger seasoning.
