Mini Hamburgers (Sliders)

Ingredients

  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1/2 Large Onion
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 12 ounces Slider Buns
  • Cooking Spray

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F
  • Spray the baking pan with cooking spray
  • Crack the egg into the mixing bowl
  • Lightly beat the egg
  • Cut the onion in half
  • Cut off the top and bottom of the onion
  • Remove the outer layer or two of skin from the onion
  • Turn the onion cut-side down on the cutting board
  • Cut the onion from one side to the other into several very thin slices (the thicker the slices, the larger the chopped pieces)
  • Cut the onion the other direction (from side to side) into several thin slices
  • Add the onion to the mixing bowl
  • Add the milk, breadcrumbs, pepper, and garlic to the mixing bowl
  • Stir the ingredients until they are blended
  • Add the ground beef to the mixing bowl
  • Using your hands (yeah I know...ewwww check out the note) mix the ingredients until everything is blended
  • Scoop out a small handful of the mixture
  • Roll the mixture into a ball, pressing tighly as you roll it
  • Aim for a ball about the twice size of a golfball
  • Compress the golfball (not goofball...that's your spouse!) into a patty rather than a ball
  • Put the patty onto the sprayed baking pan
  • Repeat for the rest of the mixture
  • Put the baking pan into the preheated oven
  • Bake for 20 minutes
  • Remove the baking pan from the oven
  • Arrange the bottoms of the slider buns on the serving tray
  • Put one patty onto each slider bun
  • Put the tops of the buns onto the patties (you do remember which slider top goes on each bottom, don't you? If not I won't tell but don't make that mistake next time. Seriously this is a great way to stress your poor kids out by asking that question when making these with them.)

    • Honestly, I don’t usually put these on a broiler pan (I hate cleaning those things!), but I sometimes put parchment paper in the baking pan. I’m sure part of that comes from the fact that our beef comes from folks we know and there’s so little fat that these don’t generate much grease. You make a good point that a broiling pan would probably be a good idea though…
