Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 8 slider buns
- 8 slices American cheese
- ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 tbsps Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Pickle slices
- Ketchup, to taste
- Mustard, to taste
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Sizzle ground beef with diced onions in a skillet over medium-high heat, browning the meat completely and softening the onions to release their aromatic essence.
- Seasoning and Assembly: Drain beef grease, incorporate Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Arrange slider bun bottoms in a baking dish, evenly spreading the seasoned beef mixture across the base.
- Cheese and Pickle Layer: Strategically place cheese slices over the beef, allowing them to melt luxuriously. Distribute pickles for a tangy textural contrast, then crown with bun tops.
- Flavor Glaze: Whisk melted butter with garlic powder, fresh parsley, and optional sesame seeds to create a rich, flavor-enhancing coating. Generously brush the mixture over the bun tops, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Baking Process: Cover sliders with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 350°F oven. Remove foil during the final baking stage to achieve a crisp, golden-brown exterior. Serve piping hot with classic condiments like ketchup and mustard for personalized enjoyment.
Notes
- Meat Browning Technique: Ensure ground beef is fully browned and crumbled, preventing large clumps and ensuring even seasoning distribution.
- Grease Management: Thoroughly drain excess fat to prevent soggy buns and maintain a crisp slider texture.
- Cheese Melting Hack: Use room temperature cheese slices for more uniform melting and better coverage across the beef.
- Butter Glaze Precision: Apply butter mixture generously but evenly, using a silicone brush to prevent dry or overly saturated bun spots.
