Scale
Meat:

Cheese:
- 1 pound (1 lb) Velveeta cheese (cubed)
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Bread:
- 24 slider buns
Instructions
- Sizzle the ground beef and sausage in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring the meats are thoroughly browned and cooked through.
- Eliminate excess fat by carefully draining the meat to prevent greasy sliders.
- Transfer the cooked meat mixture into a saucepan set on low heat, preparing for the next flavor transformation.
- Incorporate cubed Velveeta cheese, adding a sprinkle of black pepper and onion powder to elevate the meat’s taste profile.
- Gently stir the mixture, watching the cheese melt into a luxurious, creamy sauce that coats the meat completely.
- Delicately separate the slider buns, giving them a quick toast to enhance their texture and warmth.
- Generously ladle the rich, cheesy meat mixture onto the bottom half of each bun, creating a hearty base.
- Crown each slider with its matching bun top, creating a compact, mouth-watering package.
- Serve the sliders piping hot, allowing the melted cheese and seasoned meat to tantalize taste buds immediately.
Notes
- Customize meat blend by mixing different ground meats like beef, pork, or turkey for varied flavor profiles.
- Reduce cheese quantity for a lighter version or substitute with low-fat cheese alternatives to make the recipe more diet-friendly.
- Toast buns with butter or garlic spread to enhance the slider’s overall taste and add a crispy texture.
- Prep meat mixture ahead of time and reheat gently to save cooking time during busy weeknights.
