Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 8 slices cheddar or American cheese
- 12 slider buns
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until completely browned, carefully draining any excess fat.
- Incorporate diced onions and minced garlic into the meat, sautéing until vegetables become translucent and fragrant.
- Season the beef mixture with Worcestershire sauce, adding salt and pepper for enhanced flavor profile.
- Arrange slider bun bottoms in a uniform layer within a baking dish.
- Distribute the seasoned beef mixture evenly across the bun bases, ensuring consistent coverage.
- Layer cheese slices directly over the meat to create a melty, gooey topping.
- Gently position the top bun halves over the cheese, creating complete slider sandwiches.
- Generously brush melted butter across the bun surfaces, optionally sprinkling sesame seeds for additional texture and visual appeal.
- Transfer the prepared sliders to the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until cheese melts completely and buns turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest briefly before serving warm for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Customize meat selection by using lean ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for healthier alternatives that maintain delicious flavor profile.
- Prep buns ahead of time and assemble sliders quickly for busy weeknight dinners or game day gatherings.
- Control cheese meltiness by choosing high-quality sliced cheese that provides smooth, consistent coverage across slider surfaces.
- Enhance flavor complexity by adding minced jalapeños or optional herbs like fresh thyme during beef seasoning stage for gourmet twist.
