Sliders or mini burgers have become extremely popular. It all started years ago with a restaurant called White Castle. The slyder (White Castle’s trademark name) is a very thin burger fried with reconstituted dried onion and served on a little soft bun. Now those little burgers are available in the freezer section of your local grocery store. Most fast food restaurants have begun to offer these as well! I must admit, they are fun and tasty for something different. When ground beef is on sale, you can make your own at home quickly and go easy on the budget. Use dinner or potato rolls available at the grocery store. Customize with your own condiments and save a few bucks in the process.

1  pound of ground beef, sirloin, or chuck
1  teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2  tablespoons dried minced onion
10  dinner rolls, sliced horizontally
Your choice of condiments including your favorite sliced cheese

Preheat grill or skillet to medium high. Combine ground beef with salt, pepper and dried onion. Mix well. Portion into small patties that are 3 inches in diameter and cook over heat approximately 3-4 minutes per side or until done. Makes 10 mini burgers. Enjoy!

* Tips: A traditional slider is always served with onions and in this recipe the onions are mixed right in. You may like your mini-burgers made simply with salt and pepper.
