Small patties cook fast, so shaping them loosely and avoiding overcooking keeps them tender.

Ingredients

• 600 g ground beef
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 12 slider buns
• 6 cheese slices, halved
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 12 pickle slices
• 3 tbsp burger sauce
• 1 tbsp oil

Step-by-step method

1. Divide the beef into 12 equal portions and shape loosely into patties slightly wider than the buns because they shrink while cooking.
2. Season both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder just before they go into the pan.
3. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, add a thin film of oil and cook the patties in batches for about 2 minutes on the first side.
4. Turn, top each patty with half a cheese slice and cook for another 1–2 minutes until safely cooked to your preference.
5. Split and lightly toast the slider buns in the same pan.
6. Spread sauce on the buns and add the patties, onion and pickles.
7. Serve immediately while the cheese is melted and the buns are warm.
