Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450 grams) ground beef
- 8 slider buns
- 8 slices of American cheese
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Butter Glaze and Toppings:
- ¼ cup (60 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Pickle slices
- Ketchup, to taste
- Mustard, to taste
Instructions
- Craft a savory beef base by sizzling ground beef with diced onions in a skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the meat browns thoroughly and onions soften, releasing their aromatic flavors.
- Drain any excess grease from the beef mixture, then season with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The seasonings will infuse deep, complex flavors into the meat.
- Arrange slider bun bottoms in a baking dish, creating a foundation for the delectable mini sandwiches. Distribute the seasoned beef mixture evenly across the buns.
- Layer cheese slices atop the beef, allowing them to melt and create a creamy texture. Strategically place pickles for an added tangy crunch.
- Crown each slider with the remaining bun tops, preparing them for their flavor-enhancing transformation.
- Whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, fresh parsley, and optional sesame seeds to create a luxurious glaze that will elevate the sliders’ exterior.
- Generously brush the butter mixture over the bun tops, ensuring complete coverage for maximum flavor and golden-brown perfection.
- Shield the sliders with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 350°F oven, allowing the ingredients to meld and cheese to melt seamlessly.
- Uncover the sliders during the final baking stage, encouraging the buns to develop a crisp, enticing golden-brown exterior.
- Serve the hot sliders immediately, accompanied by classic condiments like ketchup and mustard for personalized dipping pleasure.
