Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Dried onion flakes
• 0.25 cup Water
• 12 pieces Dinner rolls or slider buns
• 6 slices American cheese slices
• 12 pieces Pickle chips
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 sheet Parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined, but avoid overworking the meat.

Step 3

On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, press the ground beef mixture into an even, thin layer approximately 1/4-inch thick. Spread it out so that it covers the width and length of the buns you plan to use.

Step 4

Sprinkle the dried onion flakes evenly over the beef layer, lightly pressing them into the meat.

Step 5

Pour the water around the edges of the beef layer to create steam during baking. Cover the baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 6

While the beef cooks, slice the dinner rolls or slider buns in half, if not pre-split. Lightly butter the cut sides of the rolls and toast them in a skillet or on a griddle over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside.

Step 7

After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully uncover. The beef should be cooked through, and the onions will be soft and fragrant.

Step 8

With a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the beef layer into 2-inch square patties to match the size of the buns.

Step 9

Place a square of American cheese on top of half of the patties while still warm so it melts slightly.

Step 10

To assemble, place one patty on the bottom half of a toasted roll or bun. Top with a pickle chip and then the top half of the bun.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining patties and rolls to assemble all the sliders.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade 'They Could Be Sliders If Eaten with Eyes Closed White Castle'!
