03 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
06 - 12 slices cheddar cheese

# Steps:

01 - Preheat a grill or stovetop griddle over medium heat.
02 - In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
03 - Divide the seasoned beef evenly into 12 portions, shaping each into a small, compact patty.
04 - Grill the patties for 3–4 minutes per side, or until your preferred doneness is achieved.
05 - Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese during the final minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
06 - Halve slider buns and lightly toast the cut sides on the grill until golden.
07 - Place a cheesy burger patty on each bun base.
08 - Layer lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, and red onion over the patties.
09 - Generously spread ketchup and mustard onto the top halves of the buns.
10 - Cap each slider with its top bun.
11 - Arrange sliders on a platter and serve immediately while hot.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For juicier sliders, select ground beef containing at least 20% fat.
02 - Introduce Worcestershire sauce, finely diced onions, or grated cheese into the beef mixture for enhanced flavor.
03 - Experiment with various toppings such as pickles, crispy bacon, avocado slices, or alternative cheeses.
04 - Avoid overcooking to maintain moisture and tenderness in the patties.
05 - Sliders can be baked in an oven preheated to 175°C for 15 minutes as an alternative to grilling.
