Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter. Chop onions finely and set aside while preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Form the Patties: In a large bowl, season ground beef with salt and pepper before gently forming it into small slider-sized patties about 2 inches wide.
Sear the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Cook each patty for about 3 minutes on each side until they develop a lovely golden crust.
Add Cheese Topping: During the last minute of cooking, place cheese slices on top of each patty allowing them to melt gloriously as you remove them from heat.
Assemble Your Sliders: Slice slider buns in half horizontally. Place each cheesy patty on the bottom half followed by ketchup, mustard, and onions before capping it off with the bun top.
Bake and Serve!: Arrange your assembled sliders on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for about 5 minutes until everything is warm and inviting. Serve immediately while they’re still gooey!
These mouthwatering cheeseburger sliders are sure to become a staple at your gatherings! Enjoy every bite as laughter fills the air around you!
