Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Aluminum Foil
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
- 12 slices cheese
- 12 pull apart buns
- 1 teaspoon salt
OPTIONAL:
- 2 tablespoon butter
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Cook meat in a skillet until no longer pink; add any seasonings desired.
- Cut the buns in half horizontally and place the bottoms on a baking sheet.
- Place a layer of cheese on top of the buns, followed by the cooked beef, and another layer of cheese (add any other desired toppings before the last layer of cheese).
- Then place the top buns on.
- Place in the oven covered with tin foil for about 15 minutes.
- If desired melt butter and baste over top of the buns followed by sesame seeds. You can place back in the oven, uncovered, for a few minutes to get a toasted bun.
Notes
- Keep the Rolls Connected: Leaving the slider buns attached makes assembly easier and helps everything stay together while baking. Sometimes I will cut the bottoms but arrange them tight together, before assembling to make it even easier.
- Use Two Layers of Cheese: Cheese on both sides of the beef helps hold everything together and creates the best melty texture.
- Don't Overbake: Once the cheese is melted and the rolls are warm, they're ready. Overbaking can dry out the beef.
- Add Extra Toppings Before Baking: Pickles, caramelized onions, or favorite sauces can be layered in before adding the final cheese layer.
- Drain Well: Removing excess grease helps prevent soggy bottom buns.
- Refrigerator: Store leftover sliders in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: The texture may change but wrap individual sliders tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheating: Warm in a 325F oven until heated through, or microwave individual sliders for a quick lunch.
- Make Ahead: We often prep everything, cook the meat, but assemble when ready to bake.
