Instructions
 

  • Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and any additional spices as required.
  • Shape into small patties about 2-3 ounces each, slightly larger than the slider buns.

Notes

✅ Use 80/20 ground beef for the best flavor and juiciness.
✅ Press a small indentation in the center of each patty before cooking to prevent puffing up.
✅ Don’t press down on the patties while cooking—this keeps the juices inside!
