11 - 1 tsp white vinegar
12 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
13 - 1/2 tsp paprika

→ Additional
15 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for toasting buns)
16 - Cooking oil for griddle or skillet

# Directions:
01 - Whisk mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, garlic powder and paprika in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper, cover and refrigerate until assembly.
02 - Divide the beef into 8 equal portions (about 2 ounces each) and gently form loose balls without overworking the meat.
03 - Brush cut sides of the slider buns with melted butter and toast, cut side down, on a skillet or grill over medium heat until golden; transfer to a plate.
04 - Heat a griddle or large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot and lightly coat with cooking oil.
05 - Place 2–4 beef balls on the hot surface, immediately press each firmly with a spatula or burger press to about 1/4 inch thickness, season with salt and pepper and cook 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until edges are deeply browned and juices rise.
06 - Flip the patties, top each with a cheese slice and cook about 1 minute more until cheese melts and burgers are cooked through.
07 - Spread the secret sauce on both bun halves, top bottom buns with shredded lettuce, a cheeseburger patty, pickle chips and sliced onion, then cap with the top bun.
08 - Serve immediately while hot alongside preferred sides; keep assembled sliders warm in a low oven if preparing ahead.
