Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  3. Season the Meat: Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce to the beef, stirring well. If using onions, sauté them in the beef mixture until soft.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Place the bottom halves of the slider buns on a greased baking sheet. Evenly spread the cooked beef over the buns.
  5. Add Cheese: Layer the cheese slices over the beef, covering the entire surface.
  6. Top and Brush: Place the top halves of the buns over the cheese. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds and parsley if desired.
  7. Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve with pickles, lettuce, ketchup, mustard, or your favorite condiments.

FAQs:

1. Can I make these sliders ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the beef mixture in advance and assemble the sliders just before baking.

2. Can I use different cheese? Absolutely! Try mozzarella, Swiss, pepper jack, or American cheese for variety.

3. How do I store leftovers? Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F until warmed through.

4. Can I use Hawaiian rolls instead of slider buns? Yes! Hawaiian rolls add a slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with the savory beef.

Notes & More:

  • Customize Your Sliders: Add crispy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • Make It a Meal: Serve with French fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
  • For a Crispier Bun: Toast the buns before assembling to prevent sogginess.
