Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Buns
- 1 package slider buns (12 count)
Optional Toppings
- Sliced jalapeños
- Pickles
- Additional cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the assembled sliders.
- Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and sausage until they are fully cooked. Drain any excess grease to prevent sogginess.
- Add Onions: Stir in the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
- Mix Ingredients: Transfer the cooked meat and onion mixture to a bowl. Add shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Prepare Buns: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in a greased baking dish, arranging them evenly.
- Fill the Buns: Evenly spoon the cheesy beef and sausage mixture over the bottom halves of the buns, spreading gently to cover all.
- Top with Buns: Place the top halves of the slider buns over the filling to assemble the sliders.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the tops of the buns turn golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, cut into individual sliders, and serve warm. Add optional toppings if desired for extra flavor.
Notes
- Drain the cooked meat well to avoid greasy sliders.
- Mayonnaise helps keep the filling moist and creamy.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and flavor.
- To add a spicy kick, include sliced jalapeños as a topping.
- These sliders can be assembled a few hours in advance and baked just before serving.
- Leftovers store well in an airtight container and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
