How to make sliders into full size hamburgers

If you prefer a full size hamburger instead of sliders, just shape the ground beef mixture into four larger patties. Since your burgers will be larger than the sliders you will have to add additional time when grilling your full size burgers. And be sure to buy full size hamburger rolls instead of the slider buns in the recipe!

Why is a small hamburger called a slider?

A slider is a name given to a mini hamburger. The name slider came about in the 1940’s when US Navy sailors began calling mini burgers “sliders” since they typically were extremely greasy burgers. With just a bite or two a greasy mini hamburger would slide right down, hence the name slider!

Bruschetta Burgers With Crispy Prosciutto are the way to go! Crispy prosciutto combines with sundried tomatoes and ground beef to make the most flavorful burgers! And just when you think these burgers can’t get any more flavorful we add in a Lemon Basil Aioli and top it all with a Bruschetta Topping bursting with fresh summer flavors!
