Ingredients
For the Sliders:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 small white onion, minced
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 12 pack slider buns
- 1/3 cup dill pickle slices
- 6 slices American cheese
For the Butter Sauce:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
Step 2: Cook the Beef Mixture
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the lean ground beef and minced onion until the beef is browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Drain excess grease if necessary, then add the beef bouillon cube, water, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Step 3: Assemble the Sliders
Place the bottom halves of the slider buns in a baking dish. Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the buns. Add a layer of dill pickle slices, followed by American cheese slices. Place the top halves of the buns on top.
Step 4: Prepare the Butter Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush the mixture generously over the tops of the slider buns.
Step 5: Bake the Sliders
Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes, until the sliders are heated through and the cheese is melted.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. These Maid-Rite Sliders are best enjoyed warm with a side of fries, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad.
