Juicy Beef Sliders with Caramelized Onions and Garlic Aioli

Ingredients

For the Sliders:

• 1 lb ground beef 
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 8 slider buns or small dinner rolls
• 8 slices of cheddar cheese

For the Caramelized Onions:

• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Garlic Aioli:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined. Form the mixture into 8 small patties.
2. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the garlic aioli.
4. Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
5. Lightly toast the slider buns on the grill or in a toaster.
6. Assemble the sliders by spreading the garlic aioli on the bottom buns, followed by the beef patties with melted cheese, and topped with caramelized onions and the top buns.
7. Serve the juicy beef sliders immediately, and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every miniature bite!
