A Copycat Savvy Slider double cheeseburger with lettuce, pickles, and sauce on a bun, served on a plate with fries in the background.

Copycat Savvy Slider

Author: Mandy Applegate
Copycat Savvy Sliders are my at-home answer to a fast-food urge: two thin beef patties stacked on each bun with melty American cheese, crisp pickles, and creamy Boom Boom Sauce. They cook in one skillet in about 30 minutes, the uncooked patties freeze for up to 4 months, and the sauce can be made a day ahead since it tastes better once it has chilled.

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into thin, round patties.

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 2–3 minutes per side, or until browned and fully cooked. During the last 1–2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.
  • Spread Boom Boom Sauce on the bottom and top halves of the slider buns. Layer two cheese-topped patties on each bun, followed by sliced pickles and lettuce.

Notes

Season the beef evenly so no patty comes out bland; work the garlic powder, salt, and pepper all the way through.
Shape the patties a little wider than the buns, since they shrink as they cook.
Cook the patties to 160°F (71°C); color alone does not tell you ground beef is done.
Add the American cheese in the last 1 to 2 minutes so it melts cleanly instead of overcooking.
Toast the buns lightly so the sauce does not soak straight through.
Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge, and keep the components separate so the buns do not go soggy.
