Perfect for quick dinners, parties, or a kid-friendly meal, these sliders are baked to golden perfection and ready in just 30 minutes.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders

Ingredients

Sliders

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 package (12 sliders) dinner rolls
  • 1 block (8 ounces) cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ¼ dill pickle, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside for easy cleanup.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering, about 1 minute. Add 1 ½ pounds of ground beef and cook until browned on all sides, approximately 6-8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula for even browning.
  3. Sauté Onions: Add the thinly sliced yellow onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender and translucent.
  4. Add Sauces and Seasoning: Stir in 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
  5. Prepare Rolls: Place the package of 12 dinner rolls on the lined baking sheet. Carefully slice each roll in half lengthwise, leaving the bottom halves on the baking sheet.
  6. Assemble Sliders: Evenly spread the beef mixture over the bottom halves of the rolls. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese (from the 8-ounce block) generously over the beef. Optionally, add thin slices of dill pickle on top. Then place the top halves of the rolls over the filling.
  7. Brush with Butter and Bake: Brush the tops of the rolls evenly with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  8. Serve Warm: Remove from oven, slice sliders apart, and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute avocado oil with olive oil or another neutral oil if preferred.
  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes to the beef mixture.
  • Use your favorite cheese variety like American or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
  • The sliders are best served fresh but can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven.
  • Optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or mustard can be added according to personal preference.
