Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 8 sesame seed slider rolls
- 4 slices cheese (cheddar or American)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- Ketchup and mustard, for serving
How to Make Sesame Seed Sliders
- In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and soy sauce. Mix until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (for chicken) or 160°F (for beef).
- During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.
- While the patties are cooking, slice the sesame seed rolls in half and toast them lightly, if desired.
- Assemble each slider by placing a patty on the bottom half of the roll. Top with lettuce, tomato, and your choice of condiments. Add the top half of the roll.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Results
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure your patties are cooked to the appropriate temperature for safety.
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or sliced jalapeños to your sliders.
- Consider mixing in chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary to achieve a nice sear.
Easy Variations
- Try using turkey or plant-based ground meat for a lighter option.
- Swap out the cheese for avocado slices or a dollop of guacamole for a fresh twist.
- Experiment with different sauces like BBQ sauce or ranch dressing for unique flavors.
- Add pickles or sautéed onions for extra crunch and flavor.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy sweet potato fries or regular french fries for a classic pairing.
- A fresh garden salad or coleslaw to balance the richness of the sliders.
- Vegetable sticks with dip for a crunchy side.
- Chips and salsa for a fun appetizer.
Storage and Reheating
Leftover sliders can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or microwave for 30-45 seconds. The patties can also be frozen before cooking; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before grilling.
