With New Year’s Eve coming up, and even Super Bowl Sunday, hosting parties and deciding what to serve are coming up. It can be a stressful time to know what to make, and what people will like.

How to make these Beef Sliders:

Combine

Combine the ground beef and the seasonings in a large bowl.

Make the patties

Form slider patties, making sure to pack the meat so it stays together and does not crumble.

Cook the sliders in the skillet or oven

Cook the slider patties either on the stovetop or in the oven.  Can also grill them on a grill mat. See below for directions on both options.

Slice the toppings

While the sliders are cooking, break up the lettuce to make little lettuce buns and slice up all toppings that you are using.

Assemble the sliders

Once the sliders are finished cooking, assemble by putting the top ingredients of the slider onto the toothpicks, finishing with the bottom ingredient. For example: bun, pickles, tomato, onion, burger, bun.

Put sliders and condiments out

Place condiments in a small bowl and place near the sliders with a spoon so guests can spoon their condiments onto their plate. Enjoy!

How to cook these Beef Sliders in a skillet:

Heat a nonstick skillet on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Coat with 1 Tablespoon of oil, or butter and add slider patties.  Cook for 3-5 minutes.  Flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet.

How to cook these Beef Sliders in the oven:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil.  Add the slider patties to the cookie sheet about an inch or two apart (they will slightly shrink).  Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes depending on desired doneness.
