Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1/2 cup butter

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1/4 cup chopped parsley

• 4 pieces slider buns

Directions

• Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to heat for about a minute.
• In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form into small patties about 3 inches in diameter.
• Place the patties on the heated skillet. Cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side until burgers reach desired doneness.
• While patties are cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper into the melted butter. Allow the ingredients to combine thoroughly for 2 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. This will form the cowboy butter sauce.
• Assemble sliders by placing cooked patties on the slider buns. Drizzle each slider with a generous amount of cowboy butter sauce.
• Serve the Cowboy Butter Sliders warm, optionally garnished with extra parsley for added flavor.
