Sliders are so great. They might officially be merely 'a small burger' but they're so much more than just that! Sliders can pack a real punch flavor-wise and they're fast and easy to make. What's even better is that everyone loves them!

It's not all about beef though - lamb, chicken and even crab make awesome patties as well! Check out these mouthwatering recipes and make your favorite tonight!

1. Grilled Greek sliders (h/t Home. Made. Interest.)
If you love Big Fat Greek flavors, then make these tonight! This recipe cleverly brings together classic Greek tastes - feta, olives, Tzatziki and so on, and assembles them as a slider! Cute and clever.

2. Lamb sliders (h/t All Recipes)
More Mediterranean flavors at work here, and my oh my, they're good. Spices, red onion and feta cheese combine with the lamb to make juicy, joyous sliders that are pretty irresistible!

3. Crab cake sliders (h/t Jessica Burns)
Early tip: work out roughly how many of these you'll need, double it, then add more. These aromatic little crab patties, enriched with mayonnaise, are absolutely delectable and will vanish as soon as you bring them out to your guests!

4. Italian sausage and pepper sliders
Italian sausage and peppers is a classic dish for a reason. It's perfect. Tender, flavorful sausage mixed in with sliced bell peppers swims in a delicious tomato sauce.

5. Easy BBQ sliders (h/t Oh Sweet Basil)
Take a look at these sliders. That sticky, boozy, bbq glaze is nothing short of phenomenal - big flavors for big people, rather than kids probably, but hey. Being grown up has to have it's advantages, right?

6. Butter chicken sliders
Butter chicken may have been made famous in India, but it has gotten global attention from just about everywhere. It's no wonder why, either. It's buttery, creamy, delicious, and relatively healthy. But you don't always have to have it the traditional way. Get the full recipe here.

7. Southern sliders
Pimento cheese is a Southern classic that usually makes appearances in only in white bread sandwiches or as a cracker spread on an appetizer tray. The recipe below takes the whole idea of sliders — tiny burgers that are loaded with big flavors — and makes it distinctively Southern by adding a hearty dollop of homemade pimento cheese spread.
