Ingredients

  • 3 pounds groound beef or 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • salt and pepper 
  • 12 small slider rolls
  • 6 slices american cheese
  • 4 large green leaf lettuce leaves . torn into 3 pieces each
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce or homemade barbecue sauce
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 12 medium dill pickle slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°.
  2. Spread out the ground beef on a rimmed 13 x 18 inch baking sheet, end to end. No need to grease the pan. Place on center rack of oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and pour off fat as needed. Using a pizza wheel or sharp knife, cut the cooked beef into 12 slider bun sized portions. 
  3. Place the cheese right on top of the cut slider patties. The patties should be touching together on the pan.  Return to the hot oven to melt the cheese.
  4. Separate the slider buns, place each half on a sheet pan and lightly toast in the oven with the melting cheese. Place the pan on the bottom rack until the buns are heated and slightly crisped. The buns should still be soft inside.
  5. Remove buns from the oven and top each bottom bun with a torn lettuce leaf. Transfer one slider patty with melted cheese to each. Add a dollop of barbecue sauce on top of the cheese, then add pickle and red onion. Finish by replacing the top of the bun.
