Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Divide the ground beef into 16 equal portions. Roll into balls, flatten into small slider-sized patties, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and arrange the patties in a single layer.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until fully cooked. No flipping is required, although you can flip them halfway through if desired.
- While the burgers are cooking, slice the rolls in half.
- Cut the American cheese slices into quarters.
- Thinly slice the 1/4 onion.
- Remove the burgers from the oven and allow them to cool completely before assembling.
- Place a burger patty onto the bottom half of each roll. Top with a piece of cheese and a few slices of onion, then add the top bun.
- Place each slider onto a folded paper towel.
- Fill small condiment cups with your family’s preferred dipping sauce such as burger sauce, ketchup, barbecue sauce, spicy mayo, or thousand island dressing.
- Wrap each slider, condiment cup, and paper towel together tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- To serve, unwrap a slider pack, leave the slider on the paper towel, and microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Use the sauce for dipping or spread it inside the slider before eating.
Notes
- 80/20 ground beef gives the juiciest burger patties.Leaner beef works but may dry out faster.
- American cheese melts well, but cheddar, Swiss, pepper jack, or Colby Jack can also be used.
- Homemade rolls or store-bought slider buns both work.
Storage:
- Allow the burger patties to cool completely before wrapping to prevent soggy rolls.
- Store wrapped slider packs in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the assembled sliders without the condiment cups.
- Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Store sauces separately if freezing.
