Grilled Onion Sliders
A new summer favorite and a slight spin on a classic, these grilled onion sliders take inspiration from White Castle sliders, where the burger is grilled directly on top of onions.
Equipment
- Grill
Ingredients
- 2 lb ground beef or ground burger mix of choice (we used a mix of chuck and ground short rib)
- 2 large white onions
- salt and pepper
- 12 slider buns
- sliced cheese, optional
- oil for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium heat and oil well.
- Slice the onions into thick rounds, about 1/4 inch thick and brush with oil so they don't stick to the grill.
- Form the ground meat into 12 equal sized sliders about 3" in diameter. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Place 6 slider patties and 6 onion rounds onto the grill. Cook the sliders and onions seperately until the first side is done and ready to flip, 4-5 minutes. Flip the onion rounds first, then flip the each slider directly onto an onion round, pressing the meat down into the onion. Continue to grill until the sliders are cooked through, an additional 4-5 minutes. If using, top with cheese for the remaining 2 minutes of cooking time.
- Repeat with the remaining 6 sliders and onion rounds. Serve on toasted slider buns.
