Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings and Buns:
- 6 cheddar cheese slices
- 6 slider buns
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Pickles (optional)
- Ketchup (optional)
- Mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F, preparing for efficient burger preparation.
- Mix ground beef thoroughly with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to enhance flavor profile.
- Spread seasoned meat evenly across baking dish, creating a uniform rectangular patty for consistent cooking.
- Roast meat in preheated oven for 15 minutes, allowing full cooking and rendering excess fat.
- Carefully drain any accumulated grease from meat surface to reduce unnecessary oil.
- Arrange cheddar cheese slices across entire meat surface, ensuring complete coverage.
- Return to oven for additional 5 minutes, allowing cheese to melt smoothly and create rich, gooey layer.
- Extract meat and cheese from oven, letting it rest momentarily before precise cutting.
- Slice meat and cheese into uniform squares matching slider bun dimensions.
- Lightly butter slider buns, then quickly toast until golden edges appear.
- Construct sliders by layering meat, melted cheese, crisp pickles, and preferred condiments.
- Serve immediately while cheese remains warm and buns maintain crispness.
Notes
- Customize the seasoning by experimenting with different spice blends like smoked paprika or chili powder for extra flavor kick.
- For a leaner option, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef while maintaining the same cooking technique.
- Line the baking dish with parchment paper to make cleanup easier and prevent sticking during baking.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time and assemble sliders quickly for effortless party or game day appetizers.
