Sliders- Mini Burgers WCheese - ground beef

Method

• Each burger is 1/4 cup of ground beef.
• I have those stainless steel measuring cups that come 4 to a pack and are broken down by 1/3, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 cup.
• Gently measure out 1/4 cup of ground beef and roll into a ball.
• Don't pack the meat into the cup.
• Do this for the rest of the meat, you should get 12 "balls.
• Take a sheet of wax paper (12x12) and put 2 meat balls on the lower half of the wax paper.
• Fold over the wax paper so that the meat balls are between it.
• Gently press each ball down evenly to make two THIN beef patties.
• (I gently press down and then take a rolling pin and roll them out nice and thin.
• The patties will appear to be the size of a regular burger, but trust me, after you cook it, it will decrease in size, and fit on the tiny buns.
• Lift the top layer of the wax paper up and "shape" the patties making sure they're nice and round.
• Once done, put the top layer back on and put to the side.
• Take another sheet of wax paper and do the same for the rest of the burgers.
• Take the dinner rolls and cut into thirds.
• (lay the dinner roll on it's side and cut into 3 even pieces.)
• Take the middle piece out leaving just the top and bottom of bun.
• If you want to make double burgers, you will only need 6 of the dinner rolls, not 12.
• Finely chop the onion and put 1/4 of the onion into a bowl with 1 cup of boiling water.
• Let it steep, this onion water will help "steam" your buns later.
• Put the rest of the chopped onion in another bowl and put on the side till later.
• Cut the 6 slices of cheese in half and arrange in a single layer on a sheet of wax paper and arrange the pickle chips on a plate.
• (you are doing all these preparations ahead of time since the burgers are thin they will cook fast and you want everything done and ready for cooking.
• Heat up your frying pan on medium high heat.
• (When I cook these burgers, I use 2 frying pans at once).
• Once the pans are hot enough, place the burgers into the pan and cook about 4 minutes.
• If the burgers appear to be cooking fast, you can flip them sooner.
• Once you flip the burgers, put 1 tsp of onions on each burger immediately.
• Let the burgers cook for 4 more minutes.
• Take some of the onion water and pour into pan, about 1/4-1/2 cup.
• This will help steam the burgers and bun.
• cook 1 minute.
• put a slice of cheese onto each burger.
• I like "steamed" buns, so after I put the cheese onto the burgers, I put one of those splatter shields over the top of the frying pan with the tops of the buns on it.
• This also serves as a top and helps melt the cheese.
• While the cheese is melting, arrange the bun bottoms on a plate and put a squeeze of ketchup and one pickle on each bun.
• Once the cheese has melted, place the burger onto the bun and immediately put the top on.
• Repeat until all the burgers are cooked.
• Enjoy!
