Ingredients

Instructions

1. Build a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the mustard, olive oil, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix gently with a fork, without compressing the mixture.
3. Shape the meat into 12 patties, about 2 inches across, of equal size and thickness.
4. When the grill is medium-hot, brush the grate with oil. Grill the sliders for 4 minutes, then flip and cook 4 to 6 more minutes, until medium-rare, or longer for well done.
5. In the last 2 minutes, place about 1/2 ounce grated Gruyere on each slider and close the lid.
6. Move the sliders to a platter and cover with foil.
7. Halve the buns crosswise and toast them cut side down on the grill.
8. Divide the arugula among the 12 bottom buns, add a slider to each, then top with a tomato slice and a red onion slice. Close with the top bun and serve hot with ketchup.
