Grill grates are prime real estate at a summer cookout. People want the charred blacks lines on everything—lettuce and fruit included. Grilled burgers may be a cookout staple, but let's face it: your friend Bob will likely overcook them while trying to find a bottle opener. Eliminate the potential for dry burger sadness and save the grill for the hot dogs and veggies. These pull-apart cheeseburger sliders are the way to go. They be small in size, but they're mighty in flavor. We dare you to stop at just one.

Instead of forming a dozen mini patties, we went sloppy Joe-style and cooked ground beef on the stovetop. Don't worry about the potential mess factor. When your party is outside, there's no need to concern yourself over spilled ketchup.

A generous splash of Worcestershire sauce and squirt of yellow mustard take the meat mixture to another level. Don't skip either—even if you don't like mustard! The yellow condiment just adds a very subtle tang that will make people beg for the recipe. As far as cheese goes, cheddar will never let you down. American, Monterey jack, provolone and fontina also melt beautifully.
