Description
A delicious recipe for Tower of Smash Sliders featuring juicy beef patties, caramelized onions, and toasted buns.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (900 g) ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- 12 slider buns (brioche preferred)
- 12 slices American cheese (or cheddar for sharper flavor)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted (for toasting buns)
- Pickles (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and soft (20–25 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Mix ground beef with Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Form into small balls (about 2 oz each). Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over high heat until very hot. Place beef balls on the skillet and immediately smash flat with a spatula or burger press. Cook 2 minutes, then flip, add cheese, and cook another 1–2 minutes until cheese melts.
- Brush slider buns with melted butter. Toast cut side down on the skillet until golden brown.
- Place cheesy smash patties on toasted buns. Top with caramelized onions. Stack them up into a glorious tower and serve with extra napkins!
