Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 pounds ground beef
Cheese and Dairy:
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
Additional Ingredients and Seasonings:
- 1 (1.25 ounces) envelope onion soup mix
- 24 dinner rolls, split
- 1/2 cup sliced pickles (optional)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Grease a baking sheet and heat the oven to the recommended temperature for meat preparation.
- Mix ground beef with finely chopped onions, grated sharp cheddar, and creamy mayonnaise in a spacious mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Carefully spread the seasoned meat mixture across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring an even, uniform layer that will cook consistently.
- Roast in the preheated oven until the meat is fully cooked, develops a golden-brown surface, and the cheese becomes deliciously melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and allow the meat to rest briefly, then precisely slice the entire sheet into compact, uniformly sized squares that perfectly match the dimensions of soft dinner rolls.
- Gently place each meat square onto the bottom half of a tender dinner roll, adding crisp pickle slices for an extra burst of tangy flavor if desired.
- Crown each slider with the corresponding roll top, creating a compact and appetizing mini burger.
- Arrange the assembled sliders on a serving platter, keeping them warm, and present immediately to capture the peak of their savory, cheesy goodness.
Notes
- Customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of onion soup mix or adding a dash of hot sauce for extra kick.
- For a leaner version, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken, which works equally well in this recipe.
- Experiment with different cheese types like pepper jack or Swiss to create unique flavor profiles that match your taste preferences.
- Prepare the beef mixture ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to enhance the flavor and save time during meal preparation.
