Chef's Note
These mini burgers are perfect for both adults and kids! The sweet potato wedges make a healthier alternative to traditional fries. You can prepare the patties ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking. For a time-saving hack, you can use pre-formed slider patties from the grocery store, though homemade ones have better flavor and you can control the seasoning.

Ingredients
8 oz ground beef (85% lean)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
6 count mini slider buns
3 count cheddar cheese slices
1 large sweet potato
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp paprika
3 count lettuce leaves
1 small tomato
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp mustard
12 count dill pickle slices
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Wash and cut the sweet potato into wedges about 1/2 inch thick. In a bowl, toss the wedges with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 3
Arrange sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy on the outside.
- 4
While the wedges are baking, prepare the burger patties. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- 5
Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into small patties about 2.5 inches in diameter. Press a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb (this prevents them from puffing up while cooking).
- 6
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side for medium doneness.
- 7
Cut each cheese slice in half and place half a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover the skillet to help the cheese melt.
- 8
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato thinly and tear the lettuce into bun-sized pieces. Lightly toast the slider buns if desired.
- 9
To assemble, spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom buns. Top each with a lettuce piece, burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slice, and 2 pickle slices.
- 10
Add the top buns and serve immediately with the sweet potato wedges on the side. Serve 3 sliders per person.
