Instructions
Prepare the Beef Patties:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form the Patties:
Divide the beef mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Cook the Patties:
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover the grill or skillet to help the cheese melt.
Assemble the Sliders:
Place each cooked patty on a large lettuce leaf. Add any optional toppings like pickles, tomatoes, onions, or avocado. Fold the lettuce over the patty to form a wrap.
Serve:
Serve the sliders immediately, while the patties are still warm and the cheese is melted.
Storage Methods
Refrigeration: Store leftover beef patties and cheese in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat patties in a skillet or microwave before serving.
Freezing: Freeze cooked patties in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Variations
Spicy Sliders: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture for a spicy kick.
Bacon-Wrapped: Wrap each beef patty in bacon before cooking for added flavor and crunch.
Different Cheeses: Experiment with different cheeses like Swiss, provolone, or blue cheese for unique flavor profiles.
Vegetable Add-Ins: Mix finely chopped vegetables such as mushrooms or bell peppers into the beef mixture for added texture and nutrition.
