Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Slider Assembly
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half
- 6 slices American cheese, cut in halves
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup dill pickle slices
Topping
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Beef: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease to keep the sliders from being too oily.
- Season the Beef: Stir in the onion soup mix and Worcestershire sauce into the cooked beef. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Prepare the Slider Buns: While the beef simmers, slice the slider buns or Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Arrange the bottom halves neatly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, creating the base layer.
- Spread Condiments: Evenly spread mayonnaise and ketchup over the bottom halves of the buns to add creaminess and tang.
- Assemble Sliders: Spoon the seasoned beef mixture evenly on top of the sauced buns. Layer with halved American cheese slices, then top with dill pickle slices for a perfect balance of flavors.
- Add Top Buns and Toppings: Place the top halves of the buns over the fillings. Brush the tops with the melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired, to add a golden, nutty crust.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.
- Finish Baking: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is nicely melted.
- Serve Warm: Remove from oven and serve the sliders warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter or vegetarian-friendly option.
- For an extra kick and flavor, add sautéed onions or chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture before assembling the sliders.
