How Can I Make The Best Cheeseburger Sliders?
To make the absolute best cheeseburger sliders, follow these instructions:
- Cook the meat along with the onions, bell pepper, and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- To the meat, add the diced tomatoes (drained), Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste. Continue cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 mins.
- Without separating them, slice the buns in half and place the bottom half in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar evenly on top of the bun bottoms and bake them for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted (only the bottoms).
- Spoon the meat mixture over the melted cheese, and sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese evenly over the meat.
- Place ½ strip of cooked crispy bacon over each bun and place the top of the buns over the bacon.
- Mix the ingredients for the glaze in a microwave safe dish and microwave until the butter has melted.
- Drizzle the glaze evenly over the top of the buns, sprinkle them with sesame seeds, and bake uncovered, for 25 mins.
