Classic Beef Sliders ​

Servings: 8

Ingredients

	3 pounds ground beef
	kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
	vegetable oil, for brushing the grill grates
	24 hawaiian sweet rolls, such as king's hawaiian, split
	1/4 cup ketchup
	6 slices cheddar, cut into quarters
	1/4 cup mayonnaise
	2 tablespoons yellow mustard
	24 small pieces romaine or iceberg lettuce (about the same size as the rolls)
	24 dill or bread-and-butter pickle chips

Directions

Step 11 Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.

Step 2Divide the ground beef into 12 portions (about 2 ounces each). Pat each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty and make an indentation in the center with your thumb so the patties keep their shape while cooking. Sprinkle with salt and a few grinds of pepper.

Step 3 Brush the grill grates or grill pan with oil. Grill the patties, turning once, until nicely browned but still a bit pink inside, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Top each patty with a piece of cheese and grill until melted, about 1 minute.

Step 4 Arrange the sweet rolls cut-side up on a cutting board or large serving platter. Spread some ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard on each roll bottom. Top with a piece of lettuce and a burger patty. Put a pickle on each patty and sandwich with the remaining roll tops.
