Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 6 slider buns
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to ensure even seasoning without overworking the meat.
- Divide the ground beef mixture into 12 thin, equal-sized patties. Make them slightly larger than your slider buns, as they will shrink during cooking.
- Place a small mound of shredded cheese in the center of 6 of the patties, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Top each cheese-covered patty with the remaining 6 patties, carefully sealing the edges by pinching them together to create a sealed cheese-stuffed burger.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, ensuring the surface is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the stuffed sliders for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for food safety.
- During the last minute of cooking, place slider buns cut-side down on the grill to lightly toast and create a crisp surface.
- Remove sliders from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Place each stuffed slider on a toasted bun and serve immediately while the cheese is still melted and hot.
Tips
- Don’t Overwork the Meat: When mixing the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, be sure to mix gently. Overworking the meat can lead to tough sliders, so keep it light and fluffy for the best texture.
- Make Patties Larger Than Buns: When shaping your patties, make them slightly larger than your slider buns. The burgers will shrink as they cook, ensuring a perfect fit when assembled.
- Seal the Edges Well: After adding the cheese to the patties, make sure to pinch the edges securely. This will prevent the cheese from oozing out during grilling, keeping that delicious melty center intact.
- Preheat the Grill: Always preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. A hot grill will give your sliders a beautiful sear and help lock in the juices.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure your sliders are cooked safely, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 160°F. This guarantees that your burgers are both delicious and safe to eat.
- Toast the Buns: For added texture and flavor, toast the slider buns on the grill during the last minute of cooking. This will give them a nice crispness that complements the juicy sliders perfectly.
- Let Them Rest: After grilling, let the sliders rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and juicy bite.
- Serve Immediately: Serve your cheesy sliders right off the grill while the cheese is still melted and gooey. Pair them with your favorite condiments and sides for a complete meal!
