Notes

  • To help prevent small pieces of meat falling out of these mini burgers, make one giant burger patty in a large skillet or baking dish instead.
  • This recipe can easily be turned into full-sized burgers instead of mini sliders.
  • Put out some crispy bacon, crunchy lettuce, tomato, and a pickle slice or two, for those who would like to add a little extra to their slider.
  • Store refrigerated leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
