Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in the ranch seasoning mix and mix well. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Sliders
- Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected as a single sheet if possible. Place the bottom half on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
- Spread the mayonnaise (and ketchup, if using) evenly across the rolls.
- Layer the cooked beef mixture over the rolls, followed by the cheese slices. Cover with the top half of the rolls.
Step 3: Add the Butter Topping
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
Step 4: Bake
- Cover the sliders loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 5: Serve
- Slice into individual sliders and serve warm.
Tips for the Best Sliders
- Keep It Together: Use a serrated knife to slice the rolls evenly, ensuring the top and bottom halves stay connected.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the filling ahead of time to save time on busy days.
- Cheese Lovers: Try mixing different cheeses, like cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack, for extra flavor.
- Crispy Tops: Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking for a crispier top.
Variations
- Add Bacon: Crumble cooked bacon over the meat mixture for extra savory flavor.
- Spicy Twist: Add jalapeños or a drizzle of sriracha for heat.
- Vegetarian Option: Swap the meat for plant-based crumbles or sautéed mushrooms.
- Different Meat: Try ground sausage, shredded chicken, or even pulled pork.
Serving Suggestions
- Party Perfect: Serve alongside chips, pickles, or a veggie platter for a balanced spread.
- Casual Dinner: Pair with a simple salad or roasted vegetables.
- Game Day: Add them to your snack table with dips like queso, guacamole, or ranch dressing.
Storage and Reheating
- Refrigerate: Store leftover sliders in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes, or microwave for 30–45 seconds.
