Description
Easy mini cheeseburger sliders baked on one pan. Juicy beef, melty cheese, and soft buns make this a perfect crowd friendly meal.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef 80 percent lean
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 12 slider buns sliced horizontally
- 12 slices American cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Gently mix ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
- Press the beef evenly into a rectangle about three quarters inch thick to match the size of the slider buns.
- Place the beef on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Remove the beef from the oven and carefully drain excess fat.
- Lay cheese slices evenly over the hot beef and return to the oven for 2 minutes until melted.
- Place the bottom halves of the buns on top of the cheese, then invert the whole slab so the buns are underneath.
- Set the top buns in place. Brush melted butter over the tops and sprinkle with sesame seeds and onion powder.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the buns are golden and lightly crisp.
- Let rest 5 minutes, slice into individual sliders, and serve warm.
