Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb (454 grams) ground beef
Cheese and Bread:
- 12 slider buns
- 6 slices of cheddar cheese, halved
Seasonings and Toppings:
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- Pickles (optional)
- Lettuce (optional)
- Tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the culinary workspace by heating the oven to a moderate temperature of 350°F, ensuring an optimal cooking environment.
- In a sizzling skillet, transform the ground beef over medium flame, incorporating finely chopped onions, seasoning with salt and pepper. Allow the meat to brown thoroughly, releasing rich, savory flavors.
- Carefully bisect the slider buns, creating a perfect foundation for your miniature culinary masterpiece. Generously apply tangy ketchup and zesty mustard across the bottom halves, creating a flavor-packed base.
- Delicately distribute the seasoned beef mixture atop each bun, creating a hearty foundation. Crown the meat with a delicate half-slice of sharp cheddar cheese, promising a melty, indulgent experience.
- Gently cap each slider with its corresponding top bun, then lovingly brush the exterior with golden melted butter, enhancing both appearance and flavor profile.
- Slide the prepared sliders into the preheated oven, allowing them to bake for approximately 10 minutes until the cheese transforms into a luxurious, molten blanket.
- Present the sliders with an elegant array of crisp pickles, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomato slices, inviting diners to personalize their miniature burger experience.
Notes
- Select high-quality ground beef with 80/20 fat content for juicier, more flavorful sliders that won’t dry out during cooking.
- Customize seasonings by adding garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, or your favorite spice blend to enhance the beef’s taste profile.
- Opt for mini brioche or potato rolls instead of traditional slider buns for a richer, softer texture that complements the meaty filling.
- Prepare sliders ahead of time by assembling and refrigerating them before baking, making them perfect for game day or casual gatherings with minimal last-minute preparation.
