Ingredients
Scale
Slider Sliders
- 1 loaf of 12-count slider buns (such as brioche buns or Hawaiian rolls)
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup freshly grated white sharp cheddar cheese
- Sprinkle of sesame seeds
- Olive oil or butter (for brushing)
House Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon your favorite BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the assembled sliders.
- Prepare the slider buns: Slice the 12-count slider roll slab in half horizontally, keeping the buns attached as much as possible, and place the bottom half on a baking sheet.
- Cook the ground beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart into small crumbles. Stir in the ketchup and yellow mustard until fully combined and heated through.
- Assemble the sliders: Layer the 4 slices of sharp cheddar cheese evenly on the bottom half of the buns. Spread the cooked ground beef mixture over the cheese. Drizzle the prepared house sauce evenly across the beef. Finally, sprinkle the freshly grated white sharp cheddar cheese on top.
- Top and season: Place the top half of the slider buns over the layered ingredients. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil or melted butter, then sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
- Bake the sliders: Place the baking sheet with assembled sliders in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted and bubbly.
- Make the house sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, honey, and BBQ sauce in a bowl until smooth and well combined. This sauce can be made a day ahead to enhance flavors.
- Serve immediately: Remove sliders from the oven and serve right away with additional burger condiments or house sauce as desired for a melty, flavorful treat.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh sharp cheddar cheeses for maximum flavor impact.
- If you prefer, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- You can prepare the house sauce up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate it in an airtight container.
- Brush buns with melted butter for a richer flavor instead of olive oil.
- Additional toppings like pickles, onions, or lettuce can be added after baking to customize your sliders.
- Keep sliders warm by loosely covering with foil if not serving immediately.
