    Made these for a neighbor cookout and they were a hit! The flattening technique produced consistent sized patties and the American cheese and onions were the perfect complement for the overall taste. They went fast. Thanks!

    Just made these for dinner. They were a big hit. I used 1000 island dressing to save a little prep time. I only had shredded colby, which worked out pretty good. As long as you dont mind a little extra mess in the pan.

    American cheese, yes! "This is no place for snobbery." I enjoy my occasional fancy cheeses, but nothing is better and more deliciously gooey on a burger, no matter the size.

    Save the bag from inside your box of breakfast cereal! They make great tough bags for shaking the coating onto frying chicken, and to open up and use for pressing tortillas, pounding cutlets, and now, for flattening sliders! A great way to recycle! (I also use them for making crinkle toys for infants, placing a couple of layers of the bag inside the little loosely stuffed toy before sewing it closed. But that's a different show! )

  • @amersklain4706

    I wonder if it would work putting the onions on the meat when you press it the first time. Once you press it from the ball stage to the first circle stage put the onions on it then. Then finish pressing it to the 4 inch mark. I don’t wanna overcook my onions, but when you flipped them I saw some of them fall off. I was thinking, “No! You’re losing oniony goodness!” It’s worth a try on one burger, at least, that way the whole batch isn’t ruined. Thanks for the upload.

    the sauce sounds promising, personally I prefer the burgers pressed into the onions on the first side then the onions are on top when flipped and cheesed but I also like doing the onions white castle way, use dried onions and rehydrate them on the griddle before mashing the meat on them.. thats not to say I wouldnt have eaten a half dozen or two of these....

    Sliders don't have burger sauce. Sliders are beef, onions and buns steamed over the onions and beef. Pickles and American are optional. Size doesn't matter. It's a method. Many classic sliders are on the small side, but size doesn’t define the slider.
