Swiss Cheeseburger Sliders

Ingredients


Vegetable oil, for brushing and coating grill

1 pound ground chuck

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

2 thin slices Swiss cheese, cut into small squares to fit the sliders

8 slider buns, halved and toasted

Toppings Bar, optional:

Crisp bacon

Chive sour cream

Honey mustard

Guacamole

Mayonnaise and ketchup mixture (1/2 mayonnaise, 1/2 ketchup)

Dill pickles

Grilled pineapple slices

Mango salsa

BBQ sauce

Black bean salsa

Pico de gallo salsa

Hummus

Directions

Heat the grill or grill pan to medium heat (350 degrees F) and rub the grate with a towel dipped in oil.



In a large bowl, mix together the meat, salt, and pepper until well combined. Shape into 8 (1/4-inch thick) patties and brush the patties with vegetable oil.



Cook the patties until browned on first side, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip, top with cheese, close grill top and cook until cheese is melted and patty is cooked through, about 1 to 2 more minutes. If you are using a grill pan, tent the burgers with foil to melt the cheese.



Serve the patties on the slider buns with optional toppings.
