Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef (preferably 80/20 for juiciness)
- 12 slider buns or dinner rolls
- 6 slices of cheddar cheese, cut into squares
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- Pickles, sliced
- Ketchup and mustard to taste
- Salt and pepper to season
- Butter for brushing buns
- Optional: crispy bacon strips, diced tomatoes, lettuce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the beef patties: In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and finely chopped onions. Mix gently and form into 12 small, evenly sized patties.
- Cook the patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- Assemble the sliders: Slice the slider buns in half. Place the bottom halves on a baking sheet.
- Layer the beef and cheese: Place a cooked beef patty on each bun bottom, top with a slice of cheddar cheese, pickles, and condiments like ketchup or mustard.
- Top with the bun lids: Place the top halves of the buns on each slider.
- Bake: Brush the tops with melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese melts and the buns are toasted.
- Serve hot: Remove from the oven and serve immediately for a cheesy, savory experience.
For additional flavor, consider adding your favorite toppings like crispy bacon or fresh lettuce. Using quality ingredients like high-quality ground beef and fresh cheese slices will elevate your burger bites.
Notes
- Use high-quality ground beef for juicier burgers.
- You can prepare the assembled sliders ahead of time and refrigerate before baking.
- For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or spicy mustard.
- Adjust oven time based on your oven’s performance to prevent over-browning.
