1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (ensure GF) Shop
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 count gluten-free slider buns Shop
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
Optional toppings lettuce, tomato, cheese slices, GF ketchup, GF mustard Shop

Instructions

1 In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough patties. Mix just until all ingredients are incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
2 Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into small patties, slightly larger than the gluten-free slider buns, as they will shrink during cooking. Aim for patties about 1/2 inch thick.
3 Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the beef patties into the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary. Sear the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust and are cooked through to your desired doneness.
4 While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the cut sides of the gluten-free slider buns. You can do this in a separate dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes, or under the broiler for a minute, watching them closely to prevent burning. This step adds a pleasant texture and prevents the buns from becoming soggy.
5 Assemble the sliders by placing a cooked beef patty on the bottom half of each toasted gluten-free slider bun. Add your desired optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, cheese, gluten-free ketchup, and gluten-free mustard. Place the top half of the bun on each slider and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
