5-ingredient bbq apple cheddar burgers
These BBQ apple cheddar sliders are sweet, savory, cheesy, and completely kid-approved and only take 20 minutes to make!
PrintServings: 8 sliders (or 4 burgers)
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup bbq sauce I love Stubbs original for this
- 8 slider buns or 4 regular burger buns
- 1 medium apple very thinly sliced (honeycrisp or fuji work nice)
- 2 slices of cheddar cut into 4s, if you're doing full size burgers I'd recommend doing 4 slices of cheese
Instructions
- Mix & shape: Combine ground beef and BBQ sauce in a bowl. Form into 8 slider patties or 4 burger patties.
- Cook: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 5 minutes, flip, then cook another 4–5 minutes until fully cooked.
- Toast buns: Lightly toast the slider or burger buns while the patties cook.
- Prep toppings: Core and thinly slice the apple. Cut cheese slices into quarters.
- Assemble: Place a few apple slices on the bottom bun, top with a patty, then cheddar, and finish with the top bun. Serve warm and enjoy!
