Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (85% lean recommended)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup beef broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 810 soft slider buns

Optional Toppings

  • Yellow mustard
  • Dill pickle slices
  • Chopped onions
  • Slices of cheddar or American cheese

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Meat: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add ground beef and chopped onions. Gently break the meat apart to maintain a loose texture and cook until the beef is browned and onions are tender, stirring frequently.
  2. Adding Moisture and Flavor: Pour in beef broth (or water) and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well, reduce heat to medium-low, and let the mixture simmer to keep the meat juicy and flavorful. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Toast the Buns: While the meat simmers, lightly butter the slider buns and toast them on a griddle or pan until golden brown to add crunch and prevent sogginess.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Spoon a generous amount of the loose beef mixture onto each bun bottom. Add preferred toppings such as mustard, pickles, or cheese, then place the top bun. Serve immediately for the best experience.

Notes

  • Use 85% lean ground beef to balance juiciness and control grease.
  • Keep the meat loosely broken up to preserve the signature loose texture.
  • Simmer the meat gently with broth to avoid drying out.
  • Toast buns well to add texture and avoid sogginess.
  • These sliders can be customized with cheese, spices, or herbs to suit your taste.
  • Store leftover meat separately from buns to maintain bun freshness.
  • Reheat meat slowly with a splash of broth to keep it moist.
