# Let's Cook!:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or preheat a grill to medium-high heat. In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until combined. Be gentle to avoid overmixing. Form the mixture into 12 small patties, slightly larger than the slider buns, as they will shrink during cooking.
02 -
Grill or bake the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked to your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
03 -
Cut the slider buns in half and toast them if desired. Place the cooked patties on the bottom buns. Add dill pickle slices, lettuce, tomato, and your preferred condiments. Cover with the top buns.
04 -
Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish. Serve the sliders warm on a platter.
# Cook's Notes:

03 -
You can prepare the sliders in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes if preferred.
