Equipment

- 1 baking sheet
- 1 spatula
- 1 knife
- 1 set measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 mix)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 12 slider buns
- 12 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 cup pickles, sliced

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Form the beef mixture into 12 equal-sized patties.
- Place the patties on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until browned. Flip the patties and top each with a slice of cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
- While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the slider buns in the oven or on a separate skillet until golden brown.
- Assemble the sliders by placing each cheeseburger on a bun. Add pickles, ketchup, mustard, and any optional toppings like lettuce and tomato as desired.
- Serve the sliders warm and enjoy!
