Ingredients Needed
- 1 pound ground beef
- 12 slider buns
- 2 heads garlic
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, cheese, pickles
Preparing the Roasted Garlic Aioli
Start by roasting the garlic to develop a sweet, mellow flavor. Cut the tops off the garlic heads, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for about 40 minutes. Once cooled, squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves and mash them.
In a bowl, combine the mashed garlic with mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth. Chill the aioli in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This creamy sauce adds depth and richness to the sliders.
Cooking the Beef Sliders
Form the ground beef into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Once cooked, assemble the sliders by spreading a generous dollop of roasted garlic aioli on the buns. Add the beef patty and your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, or pickles. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
This meal is perfect for a casual gathering or a festive party. Serve the sliders with a side of crispy fries, a fresh salad, or vegetable sticks. The rich aioli complements the savory beef perfectly, making each bite flavorful and satisfying.
