- 1/4 cup water
- 12 slider buns
- 12 slices cheddar cheese
- 12 pickle slices
- Ketchup and mustard (for serving)
- Black olives (for decoration, optional)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, onion soup mix, and water until thoroughly combined.

- During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
- Assemble the sliders by placing the patties with melted cheese onto the bottom slider buns. Add a slice of pickle, ketchup, and mustard to each burger, according to your taste.
- Place the top buns on the sliders. For extra spooky fun, add black olive slices on top for spider legs, and candy eyes to create creepy faces.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Halloween-themed feast!
Notes
- Make-ahead tip: You can prepare the patties and keep them in the fridge for a few hours before cooking. This saves time during party prep.
- Cheese lovers: Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or gouda for a new flavor twist.
- Decoration ideas: In addition to black olives and candy eyes, you can drizzle ketchup like fake blood for extra Halloween vibes.
- Serving suggestion: Serve the sliders with fries, a spooky punch, or a side of crispy onion rings for a complete Halloween menu.
- Vegetarian option: Swap the beef patties for veggie patties to cater to vegetarian guests.
