- The Pizza Framework:
- 1 package (12 count) Slider buns: Soft, pillowy, and perfectly bite-sized. 🍞

👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Season and Shape the Patties
In a large mixing bowl, combine your 1 lb of ground beef with the garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to thoroughly blend the spices into the meat. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and roll them into compact balls, flattening them gently into uniform mini patties that are slightly wider than your slider buns (as they will shrink a bit while cooking!). 🌪️🥩
