Ingredients
  

For the Sliders:

1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

8 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls work great)

8 slices of cheddar cheese

8 slices of crispy bacon, chopped

1/2 cup dill pickles, sliced

Fresh lettuce leaves, for garnish

For the Burger Sauce:

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons ketchup

1 tablespoon yellow mustard

1 tablespoon pickled relish

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce:

    - In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, pickled relish, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Set aside.

      Make the Patties:

        - In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to over-mix.

          - Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and form small slider patties. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

            Cook the Patties:

              - Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat.

                - Cook the slider patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned. Flip them over and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the meat is cooked through to your desired doneness.

                  Assemble the Sliders:

                    - While the patties are cooking, slice the Hawaiian rolls in half, keeping the top and bottom halves intact (like a sandwich).

                      - In a rectangular baking dish, place the bottom halves of the rolls. Spread a generous amount of the burger sauce on each bottom half.

                        - Once the patties are cooked, place each cheesy patty on the bottom half of the rolls. Top with crispy bacon, dill pickles, and fresh lettuce.

                          Finish Up:

                            - Place the top halves of the Hawaiian rolls on the sliders. Optionally, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds for an extra touch.

                              - Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to warm through.

                                Serve:

                                  - Remove the sliders from the oven, slice them into individual servings, and serve with extra burger sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your juicy, flavorful viral cheeseburger sliders!
