Start by discussing the history of burgers with George Motz.

Mention that New Jersey has a lot of diners that serve sliders.

Explain that sliders are not just small burgers but a specific method of preparation.

Prepare the ground beef by mixing it with finely chopped onions.

Form the beef mixture into patties, noting that they should be about three ounces each.

Cook the patties on a griddle, pressing them down to release juices.

As the patties cook, place American cheese on top to melt.

Steam the buns on top of the patties to warm them up.

Assemble the burger by placing the patty on the bun and adding toppings if desired.
