My kids love burgers and especially those frozen sliders that are really convenient - microwave for less than a minute, put on bun with ketchup and mustard, and serve. This is about the easiest recipe to make sliders that can be frozen and then reheated in 30 seconds.
Ingredients:
ground beef (whatever quantity and quality you prefer, I can make about 9 sliders per pound but it'll vary based on how thickness and size)
salt
optional: ground spices (black pepper, garlic, onion, whatever you like on burgers)
Preheat oven to 375 F. Put ground beef in a rimmed baking sheet and push/pound/knead it into a rectangle about a half inch in thickness (if you prefer a different thickness then just adjust the cooking time). Sprinkle salt and spices over the ground beef. Put in the oven until the beef reaches >145 F (about 15-20 minutes, use lower temps at your own risk especially if you're going to freeze the sliders). Optionally, switch the oven to broil for the last minute or so to give the top a bit of crispiness. (The beef will shrink as it cooks by about the same percentage as the amount of fat, so leaner beef will shrink less. I just use whatever ground beef looks good at the store and don't carry about the fat/lean proportions.) Let the beef cool enough to be handled, then cut into rectangles (or whatever shape, I use the King Hawaiian rolls so I cut the sliders to that size). Place the sliders onto a parchment or wax paper lined baking sheet and place in the freezer until completely frozen. Then put the frozen sliders into a resealable bag and keep them in the freezer.
Reheating will depend on the size of the sliders and your microwave. Mine take about 20-30 seconds per slider.
This is really very simple and can be modified however you like your sliders: use ground turkey or sausage instead of beef, switch up the spices, put some diced onions in the meat before cooking, etc.
