Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 12 slider buns (soft, mini sandwich rolls)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Ground Beef: Use lean ground beef for the best flavor and texture, but feel free to adjust the fat content based on your preference.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar provides a bold and creamy flavor that melts perfectly over the beef.
  • Slider Buns: Soft slider buns hold the filling well without being too dense or dry.
  • Worcestershire Sauce: Adds a savory depth of flavor to the beef mixture, enhancing its richness.
  • Butter: The melted butter brushed on top of the buns adds a golden, crispy finish and rich flavor.

Instructions

Prepare the Beef Filling:

  1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Add the chopped onion (if using) and cook until the beef is browned and the onion is softened.
  2. Season the Beef: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Sliders:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Buns: Cut the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves together. Place the bottom halves of the buns in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Add the Beef Filling: Evenly spread the cooked beef mixture over the bottom half of the buns.
  4. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture, ensuring it covers the beef evenly.
  5. Top with the Buns: Place the top halves of the buns on top of the cheese.

Bake the Sliders:

  1. Brush with Butter: Brush the melted butter over the top of the buns, then sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
  2. Bake: Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the buns are golden brown.
  3. Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before cutting them into individual sliders and serving.
