Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 sliders
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 slider buns
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce
- Lettuce and tomato for topping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently mix the ingredients, being careful not to overwork the meat to maintain tenderness.
- Divide the seasoned ground beef into 6 equal portions and shape them into small patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent bulging during cooking.
- Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
- Cook the beef patties for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or adjust cooking time to your preferred level of doneness.
- While the patties are cooking, prepare the chipotle mayo by mixing mayonnaise with chipotle sauce in a small bowl until well combined.
- Slice the avocado into thin, even slices and wash and prepare the lettuce and tomato for topping.
- Lightly toast the slider buns on the same skillet or in a toaster until they are golden brown and have a slight crunch.
- Once the patties are cooked, let them rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Assemble the sliders by spreading chipotle mayo on the bottom bun, placing the cooked beef patty, and topping with avocado slices, lettuce, and tomato.
- Serve immediately while the patties are still warm and enjoy your delicious beef sliders.
Tips
- Keep your ground beef cold before forming patties to help them hold their shape better.
- Don't overwork the meat when mixing seasonings - gentle handling ensures tender sliders.
- Create a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
- Let the meat rest after cooking to redistribute juices and maintain maximum moisture.
- Toast your buns for extra flavor and texture - it prevents them from getting soggy.
- Use fresh, ripe avocados for the creamiest and most flavorful topping.
- Adjust the amount of chipotle sauce in the mayo to control the heat level to your preference.
