Equipment

  • Presto 7072, Black Slimline Griddle, 22"

Ingredients

FOR THE SAUCE:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 2 tablespoons French dressing
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced white onion
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

FOR THE BURGERS:

  • 1½ pounds ground beef 80/20
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper

FOR SERVING:

  • shredded iceberg lettuce
  • pickle slices
  • 6 slices American cheese cut into fourths (2 squares per burger)
  • 12 slider buns
  • ghee spray optional
  • toasted sesame seeds optional

Instructions

MAKE THE SAUCE:

  • Simply combine all the ingredients, refrigerate until ready to use!

MAKE THE BURGERS:

  • Combine the ground chuck with salt and pepper.
  • Mix by hand until just combined then divide into 12 (2 ounce) portions.
  • Place one portion of the meat mixture in between 2 pieces of wax paper and use the flat bottom of a drinking glass to press them until thin and flat.
    Transfer to a large platter or cutting board (I line it with more wax paper) and repeat with the remaining portions.
  • Preheat a griddle to 350°. Once hot, work in batches (if needed) and cook the patties 3 minutes on the first side. Flip, top with 2 squares (technically 1/2 slice) of american cheese and cook 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Transfer cooked burgers to a plate or sheet pan and repeat with the remaining burger patties.

ASSEMBLE SLIDERS:

  • I very lightly mist the tops of the slider buns with ghee spray and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. This is of course optional.
  • Spread a spoonful of the mac sauce on the inside of each bottom bun.
  • Top each bottom bun with a burger patty, shredded lettuce and pickle slices. Replace the top of the slider and serve.
