Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 12 count slider buns
  • 1 cup lettuce
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then shape into 12 small patties, about 2 inches wide.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties in a single layer, working in batches if needed, and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Flip the patties and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the patties cook, slice 1 medium onion into thin rings. In the same skillet, sauté the onions over medium heat until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Split 12 slider buns and toast them cut-side down in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

  6. 6

    Assemble each slider: place a patty on the bottom bun, top with a few onion rings and a small handful of lettuce, then cover with the top bun. Serve warm.
