Make these simple, portion-controlled gourmet mini burgers perfect for your next gathering. They are easy to eat while mingling and reduce cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1 packet (1 oz) onion soup mix
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls style recommended)
  • 12 slices cheddar or American cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, onion soup mix, water, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Press the meat mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, forming a single layer that fits the pan dimensions.
  4. Bake the beef for 15 minutes. Drain off any excess grease from the pan.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven. Place one slice of cheese on top of the cooked beef layer.
  6. Carefully place the top halves of the slider buns over the cheese. Brush the tops of the buns lightly with melted butter.
  7. Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops of the rolls are lightly golden.
  8. Remove from the oven. Let rest for 2 minutes. Slice the entire sheet of beef and buns into 12 individual sliders. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a more gourmet mini burgers experience, top with caramelized onions or a pickle slice before serving.
  • If you are making these for a large graduation party menu, you can assemble the meat and bake it ahead of time, adding the cheese and final bake just before serving.
  • These work well for Memorial Day grilling ideas if you cook the meat mixture in a large cast iron skillet on the grill instead of the oven.
