Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup crushed potato chips
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the assembled sliders.
- Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease to keep the sliders from being too oily.
- Season Beef: Season the cooked beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Melt Cheese: Lower the heat to low and add the cubed Velveeta cheese to the beef. Stir continuously until the cheese melts fully and combines evenly with the meat mixture.
- Add Jalapeños and Chips: If desired, fold in chopped pickled jalapeños for a spicy kick, then mix in the crushed potato chips to add crunch and texture.
- Prepare Buns: Slice the slider buns horizontally, keeping the individual rolls attached to create a continuous top and bottom slab. This makes assembly and serving easier.
- Assemble Sliders: Place the bottom half of the buns in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the cheesy beef mixture evenly over the bottom buns, then cover with the top bun slab.
- Butter and Season: Brush the tops of the slider buns with melted butter for a golden finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if you like additional flavor and texture.
- Bake: Bake the sliders uncovered in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes until the tops are warm and lightly toasted.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, slice between the sliders to separate, and serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute Velveeta cheese with shredded cheddar cheese if preferred for a sharper flavor.
- Mixing in cooked bacon bits or sautéed onions with the beef can add more depth and flavor.
- These sliders are ideal for parties, game day gatherings, or quick weeknight meals due to their ease of preparation and crowd-pleasing taste.
