Description

Mouthwatering cheesy ground beef sliders delight sandwich enthusiasts with bold flavors. Mini burgers pack hearty beef, melted cheese, and zesty seasonings for irresistible party snacks you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Meat:

  • 1 pound (1 lb) ground beef

Cheese and Dairy:

  • 6 slices cheddar cheese (halved)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Buns and Seasonings:

  • 12 slider buns
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm the oven to 350F (175C), preparing a baking dish for the sliders.
  2. Sauté the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, cooking until completely browned and crumbled.
  3. Carefully drain any excess fat from the meat, then incorporate the onion soup mix thoroughly.
  4. Gently separate the slider buns into top and bottom halves, positioning the bottom layer in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Distribute the seasoned beef mixture evenly across the bottom bun layer, creating a uniform meat base.
  6. Create a complete cheese blanket by arranging cheddar cheese slices directly over the beef mixture.
  7. Cap the sliders by placing the top bun halves over the cheese layer.
  8. Transform the bun tops with a lavish brush of melted butter, then dust generously with garlic powder and sprinkle sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
  9. Transfer the assembled sliders to the preheated oven, baking for 15 minutes until the cheese melts completely and the bun tops turn a golden, crispy brown.
  10. Remove from oven, let rest briefly, then serve these delectable mini sandwiches while warm for maximum enjoyment.

Notes

  • Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a healthier slider option.
  • For a gluten-free version, swap regular slider buns with gluten-free alternatives or lettuce wraps.
  • Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss for unique flavor profiles.
  • Prep ingredients ahead of time to streamline the cooking process and make assembly quicker and easier.
