Ingredients
  

For the Burgers:

1 pound ground beef (80% lean)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Slider buns (12 mini buns)

Optional toppings: sliced cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles

For the Garlic Aioli:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Garlic Aioli:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

      Make the Burger Patties:

        - In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties juicy.

          Form the Sliders:

            - Divide the beef mixture into 12 equal portions and shape them into small patties. Make indents in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly and maintain their shape while grilling.

              Cook the Sliders:

                - Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the slider patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover until melted.

                  Toast the Buns:

                    - Lightly butter the slider buns and place them cut-side down on the grill or skillet for a minute until golden and crispy.

                      Assemble the Sliders:

                        - Spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each toasted slider bun. Add a cooked burger patty, followed by your choice of toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Cap it off with the top half of the bun.

                          Serve:

                            - Arrange the sliders on a platter and serve immediately with extra garlic aioli on the side for dipping. Enjoy the burst of flavors and juiciness in each bite!
