Instructions:

1. Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

2. Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and gently shape each into a small patty about 3 inches in diameter. Avoid overworking the meat to keep it tender.

3. Season both sides of the patties with salt and black pepper.

4. Place the patties in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side without pressing down, then flip.

5. If using cheese, place the slice on top of each patty after flipping. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the cheese has melted.

6. While the patties cook, lightly toast the slider buns in a separate pan or toaster until golden brown.

7. Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.

8. Assemble the sliders - spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom bun, add the lettuce leaf, tomato slices, cooked beef patty with cheese, sliced onions, and pickles if using. Top with the bun.

9. Serve immediately with your favorite side like chips or a simple salad.

Special Tips or Variations:

- For extra flavor, mix a pinch of garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce into the ground beef before shaping patties.

- You can swap cheddar cheese with American cheese or pepper jack for a different taste.

- Add caramelized onions instead of raw onions for a sweeter, milder onion flavor.

- Use whole wheat slider buns for a healthier option.

- If you prefer, cook the patties on a grill pan or outdoor grill for a smoky flavor.

- To make it a double slider, add a second beef patty and cheese slice.
