Slab Sliders

Slab Sliders

This is for a pack of 16 sliders that you can find at Costco. Adjust to 1 lb of meat for 12 sliders for a smaller pack of sliders 

 Ingredients: 

  • 1.3 lbs ground beef (for 16 sliders)
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder (or your favorite burger seasoning)
  • 4–5 slices American cheese
  • 1 pack (16 rolls) King's Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls (Costco size)
  • Dill pickles
  • Burger sauce (Recipe down low also)
  • Grilled Onions 

1. Prep and Cook Meat Slab 

  • Form the ground beef into a square slab, roughly the size of the full pack of King's Hawaiian rolls (slightly larger is optimal due to meat shrinking when grilled).
  • Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder - you know, the good stuff
  • Cook the slab over charcoal on the Old Smokey
  • I used a pizza peel to flip the slab in one piece. It was crucial (Pam spray before grilling helps to keep from sticking) 
  • Once flipped, lay 4–5 slices of American cheese across the slab.
  • While slab is cooking start prepping your rolls 

2. Prep Rolls 

  • Slice the entire pack of rolls horizontally so you have one big top and one big bottom (keep them connected).
  • Grill to toast the bottom half lightly—this helps it hold up to the meat, sauce, and juice. 

3. Assemble 

  • Place the cooked meat slab directly onto the toasted bottom half of the rolls.
  • Add burger sauce, dill pickles and grilled onions
  • Cap it with the top half of the rolls. 

4. Serve 

  • Slice into individual sliders (16 total).
  • Watch them disappear. 

 

Burger Sauce 

Ingredients: 

  • 2 parts mayonnaise
  • 1 part ketchup
  • 1 part yellow mustard
  • 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 spoonful sweet relish
  • A few dashes of Crystal or Louisiana hot sauce (to taste) 

Instructions: 

  • In a bowl, combine mayo, ketchup, and mustard using a 2:1:1 ratio. For example:
  • ½ cup mayo
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup mustard
  • Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce and a spoonful of sweet relish to taste
  • Stir well until smooth.
  • For an extra bite add Crystal or Louisiana hot sauce or cayenne pepper
  • Chill for 15–30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. 

Pro tip- When making for an event, learn from the expert:  I prepped the burger slabs the night before and wrapped them in parchment paper. Also, I grilled down the onions and made the burger sauce the night before so all we had to do was grill it up and serve the day of.
