Ingredients
Ground Beef Mixture:
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Slider Assembly:
- 1 (12-count) package slider rolls (Hawaiian or dinner rolls work great)
- 10–12 slices cheddar or American cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional)
- 1/4 cup ketchup (optional)
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard (optional)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
- Pickles, lettuce, tomatoes (optional for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium-high heat until beef is browned. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook 1–2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
- Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally (keeping them attached). Place the bottom halves in the prepared dish.
- Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom layer if desired.
- Evenly spread the beef mixture over the rolls. Layer cheese slices on top.
- Place the top half of the rolls back on. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and tops are golden.
- Slice into individual sliders and serve with pickles, lettuce, or tomato if desired.
Notes
- Great for meal prep: cook the beef mixture ahead of time and assemble before baking.
- Use any cheese you like — pepper jack adds a spicy kick!
- For a Big Mac–style slider, add shredded lettuce and pickles after baking.
