Step 4: Make the giant burger
Cover a large cutting board in saran wrap
Take the entire uncut “slab” of kings Hawaiian buns and place onto the board
Move the ground meat mixture ball to the center of where the buns would be
Carefully flatten the ball to create a large rectangle slightly larger than the area of the hawaiian buns
Step 5: Cook the burger
Using the saran wrap to move the giant burger. Move it to a skillet or grill and cook until done
Carefully cut the slab of hawaiian buns down the middle
Move the cooked burger onto the hawaiian buns

Layer on a mexican cheese blend, Then a layer of pico, and finally top the giant burger with the cilantro lime crema
Place the slider bun top back onto the sliders.
Cut alone the already perforated sliders to create the individual burgers
Enjoy!
