🍔 Ingredients (Makes 12 sliders):

• 1 tbsp oil or butter

• Pickles (optional)

• Ketchup and mayo, for topping

🔪 Instructions:

1. Prep the buns:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Slice slider buns horizontally (keep the tops and bottoms connected if using a sheet of rolls for easier assembly).

• Lightly toast in the oven or a pan for a minute or two. Optional: spread a bit of butter or mayo before toasting.

2. Cook the beef:

• Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.

• Add chopped onions and sauté until soft and slightly caramelized (about 3–4 minutes).

• Add ground beef, breaking it up into small pieces with your spatula.

• Season with salt and pepper.

• Once browned and cooked through, keep breaking it into a fine, chopped texture — this is key!

3. Add the cheese:

• Once the meat is fully cooked, reduce heat to low.

• Place slices of American cheese over the chopped beef mixture.

• Cover the skillet briefly to melt the cheese, then stir it all together until melty and incorporated.

4. Assemble the sliders:

• Layer the cheesy beef onto the bottom half of the buns.

• Add shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and optional pickles.

• Drizzle with ketchup and mayo (or mix the two for a quick burger sauce).

• Top with the slider bun tops.

5. (Optional) Bake to finish:

• Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds or garlic powder.

• Bake in the oven for 5–7 minutes, until warm and slightly crispy.
