Beachside Sliders

Ingredients

Salt and pepper

to taste

Mayonnaise

1/4 cup

Mustard

1/4 cup

Ketchup

1/4 cup

Pickles

8 slices

Onion

1, small, finely sliced

Tomato

1, thinly sliced

Lettuce

8 leaves

Cheddar cheese

8 slices

Slider buns

8

Ground beef

1 pound

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions and form into small patties. Season each patty liberally with salt and pepper.
3. Grill the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness. For a medium burger, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F.
4. During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Close the grill lid to help the cheese melt.
5. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the buns. Spread an equal amount of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
6. Once the patties are cooked, place them on the prepared buns. Top each patty with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a few onion slices, and a pickle slice.
7. Cover each burger with the top half of the bun.
8. Serve immediately, while the burgers are still warm and the cheese is melted.
