10-Minute Sliders
Summer is for grilling, wine and beer on the porch, and looking up more grilling recipes. (Obviously.) Hunting down more sliders recipes? Check out our <a href="http://www.craftfoxes.com/how_tos/pulled-pork-sliders-with-coleslaw-and-pickles">pulled pork sliders recipe</a> and <a href="http://www.craftfoxes.com/how_tos/glazed-mini-doughnuts">glazed mini-doughnuts</a> for dessert. 1 teaspoon granulated garlic 2 teaspoons onion powder 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional) 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, bison, or lamb 1/2 head iceberg lettuce 1 tomato, sliced (optional, omit for nightshade free) 1/2 red onion, sliced Creamy Ranch Dressing* *Check out <a href="http://www.foodiewithfamily.com/2012/07/03/fabulous-homemade-ranch-dressing/">Foodie with Family</a> for a homemade ranch dressing recipe, or <a href=http://www.forkandbeans.com/2013/01/25/vegan-ranch-dressing/">Fork and Beans</a> for a vegan version.

Step 1

Preheat a large cast-iron skillet, grill, or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Combine the garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cumin in a small bowl. Form the meat into 8 small (3-ounce) patties, taking care not to over-handle the meat or it will become tough. Use your thumb to imprint a small dent into the center of each patty. With clean hands, liberally season both sides of the patties with the Spice Blend, using a utensil to flip the patties so that your hands do not get dirty between dips into the spices. There may be extra spice left over; it can be stored in a jar for later use.

Step 3

Cook the patties for 3 minutes per side or until they reach the desired level of doneness.

Step 4

Serve over iceberg lettuce, topped with tomato and onion slices or with your favorite burger toppings. These sliders are perfect when topped with Creamy Ranch Dressing.
