05 - 5 ml garlic powder
06 - 2.5 ml salt
07 - 2.5 ml ground black pepper
08 - 60 g shredded cheese

→ Caramelized Onions

09 - 2 onions, thinly sliced
10 - 15 g unsalted butter

→ Toppings

11 - 8 slices American cheese
12 - 60 g shredded iceberg lettuce
13 - 2 small tomatoes, thinly sliced
14 - 12 pickle slices

→ Burger Sauce

15 - 80 ml mayonnaise
16 - 30 ml ketchup
17 - 15 ml yellow mustard
18 - 15 ml pickle brine
19 - 5 ml Worcestershire sauce
20 - 15 ml minced onion
21 - 15 ml pickle relish
22 - 2.5 ml garlic powder
23 - 2.5 ml salt
24 - 2.5 ml ground black pepper
25 - 2.5 ml paprika

# Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle brine, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, pickle relish, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk until fully blended, then refrigerate until needed.
02 - Sauté sliced onions in butter over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until deeply golden and caramelized, about 25–30 minutes. Set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, cook ground beef with yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over medium-high heat until fully browned. Drain any excess fat on paper towels.
04 - Allow the cooked beef to cool slightly. Fold in 60 ml of prepared burger sauce, shredded cheese, and all caramelized onions. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is cohesive.
05 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Overlap two sheets of foil and coat with nonstick spray. Place the bottom halves of the slider buns on the foil. Evenly spread the beef-onion mixture over the buns. Layer with American cheese slices, then cap with top buns. Wrap tightly in foil.
06 - Transfer the wrapped sliders onto the oven rack and bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese has melted thoroughly and the filling is heated through.
07 - Unwrap sliders and remove the top buns. Garnish with sliced tomatoes, pickles, shredded lettuce, and extra burger sauce. Replace the top buns.
08 - Slice the assembled sliders with a serrated knife and serve immediately while hot.

# Notes:

01 - Prepare the beef mixture in advance and keep refrigerated; bring to lukewarm before assembly to prevent sauces and cheese from separating.
