Ingredients

🍽️ Servings: 12 sliders • 🔥 Calories/Serving: 250

1 lb ground beef
12 mini slider buns
1 large onion, thinly sliced
6 slices of swiss cheese, cut in half
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, mustard

Steps

Step 1

Melt 1 tbsp butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized (about 20 minutes). Set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper, and form into 12 small patties.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Step 4

Place a half slice of swiss cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Step 5

Toast the slider buns lightly on the grill pan or in a toaster.

Step 6

Assemble the sliders: place a beef patty with cheese on each bun, top with caramelized onions, and add any other desired toppings.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy the game!
