Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 large White onion, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 6 slices American cheese slices
- 12 pieces Dinner rolls or slider buns
- 12 slices Pickle slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the beef tender.
Spread the ground beef evenly onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, pressing it down to create a thin and even layer, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Use a rolling pin if needed to flatten the meat.
Sprinkle the minced onion evenly over the meat, gently pressing it into the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully drain any excess grease.
Place the American cheese slices evenly across the cooked beef while it’s still hot, allowing them to melt slightly.
Let the beef cool for a few minutes, then use a knife or pizza cutter to slice it into 12 even squares.
Slice the dinner rolls in half horizontally, if they’re not pre-split, and brush the cut sides with melted butter.
Toast the buttered rolls in a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.
Assemble the sliders by placing one beef square onto the bottom bun of each roll, followed by a pickle slice and the top bun.
Serve warm and enjoy these delicious White Castle-inspired appetizers!
