Yield: 24 sliders
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 (1.25-ounce) envelope onion soup mix
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 24 dinner rolls, split
- 1/2 cup sliced pickles, optional
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray. Lightly grease a second sheet of aluminum foil and set it aside for covering the sliders.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine the ground beef and onion soup mix. Cook, breaking the meat into crumbles, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese and mayonnaise until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Arrange the bottom halves of the dinner rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the roll bottoms. Add sliced pickles, if using.
- Place the roll tops over the filling. Cover the sliders with the greased sheet of aluminum foil.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the sliders are heated through and the cheese is melted.
- Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before separating and serving warm.
Chef’s Notes
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter before baking for a richer flavor and golden finish.
- For a classic burger-style slider, serve with ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce on the side.
- You can swap the Cheddar for American, pepper Jack, Swiss, or Colby Jack cheese.
- Add cooked bacon, sautéed onions, or jalapeños to make the sliders even heartier.
- These sliders can be assembled ahead of time, covered, refrigerated, and baked when ready to serve.
