Beef Mixture
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Slider Assembly
- 1 package (12 sliders) dinner rolls
- 1 block (8 ounces) cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 dill pickle, thinly sliced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prepare for baking the assembled sliders.
- Cook Ground Beef: Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling, about 1 minute. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small pieces to ensure even browning, until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
- Sauté Onion: Add the thinly sliced yellow onion to the skillet and sauté until tender and translucent, about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine with the beef.
- Season the Beef Mixture: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and cook for an additional 2 minutes while stirring occasionally. Remove the skillet from heat when done.
- Prepare Rolls: Place the package of dinner rolls on the lined baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls evenly in half lengthwise. Leave the bottom halves on the baking sheet as the base for your sliders.
- Assemble Sliders: Evenly spread the warm beef mixture over the bottom halves of the rolls. Top each with a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese and a few slices of dill pickle if using. Then place the top halves of the rolls back on to create sliders.
- Brush with Butter and Bake: Brush the tops of the assembled sliders evenly with the melted butter to achieve a golden, flavorful crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven, slice apart if desired, and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the beef mixture.
- Dill pickles are optional but add a nice tangy contrast to the rich beef and cheese.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with American cheese or your favorite melting cheese for variation.
- Butter brushing ensures the rolls bake up crisp and golden, enhancing texture and flavor.
- These sliders can be made ahead and reheated in the oven wrapped in foil to maintain moisture.
