Ingredients
  

  • 1½ teaspoons Coconut oil or lard, for pan-frying
  • 1 pound (450 g / 15.9 oz) ground beef or pork
  • 2½ teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 1½ teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese (optional; omit for dairy-free)
  • 8 large butter lettuce leaves, for wrapping
  • ½ cup (75 g / 2.65 oz) sauerkraut, warmed
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz) Thousand Island Dressing
  • For an extra flavor boost, briefly pan-fry the sauerkraut in the burger drippings until it's heated through and slightly caramelized.
  • To prevent soggy lettuce wraps, pat your lettuce leaves completely dry and warm the sauerkraut separately before assembling.
  • For a sturdier wrap, use two overlapping butter lettuce leaves for each slider. This helps contain the delicious toppings and prevents messes.

Method
 

  1. Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, heat the coconut oil or lard in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. 2. Gently form the ground meat into 8 small patties, about ½ inch thick. Be careful not to overwork the meat.
  2. Season the outside of each patty with salt and pepper. 3.
  3. Grill or pan-fry the burgers until cooked through (minimum 145ºF for beef, 160ºF for pork). During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of Swiss cheese, if using, and allow it to melt. 4. Assemble the sliders by placing each cheesy patty onto a butter lettuce leaf.
  4. Top with a generous spoonful of warmed sauerkraut and a drizzle of Thousand Island dressing.
  5. Serve immediately.
  6. Don't overwork the meat when forming the patties. Handle it just enough to form the shape to ensure your sliders are tender and juicy.
