Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet and set the oven to 350°F (175°C) for optimal heating.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef with diced onions, ensuring thorough cooking and draining any excess fat.

Notes
- Customize the sliders by adding different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or blue cheese for unique flavor profiles.
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives to create healthier or vegetarian versions of the recipe.
- Enhance the burger mixture by incorporating finely chopped herbs like parsley or chives for an extra layer of freshness and aroma.
- Ensure even cooking by gently pressing down the beef mixture when spreading it on the buns, creating a uniform layer that melts cheese perfectly.
