Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Veggies

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (85% lean preferred)
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for butter mixture)

Bun and Cheese

  • 12 slider buns (soft dinner rolls or Hawaiian rolls)
  • 68 slices provolone cheese

Fats and Oils

  • 4 tablespoons (56g) butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for sautéing)

Optional Toppings

  • Hot sauce
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Pickled peppers
  • Mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Prepare the buns: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the entire pack of slider buns in half horizontally, being careful to keep the top and bottom halves intact. Place the bottom half of the buns evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish to serve as the base for the sliders.
  2. Sauté vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and green bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become soft and golden, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release its aroma.
  3. Cook the beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it apart and cook until it is fully browned and no longer pink, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary to avoid soggy sliders.
  4. Season the meat mixture: Sprinkle Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper over the cooked beef and vegetables. Stir thoroughly to combine all flavors. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  5. Assemble the sliders: Evenly spread the beef mixture over the bottom halves of the slider buns in the baking dish. Layer provolone cheese slices over the beef, ensuring the cheese covers the mixture entirely for melty goodness.
  6. Add the top buns and butter glaze: Place the top half of the slider buns over the cheese-covered bottom halves. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with garlic powder. Brush this garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the buns for a rich, flavorful crust.
  7. Bake the sliders: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the tops turn golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve: Allow the sliders to cool in the baking dish for 5 minutes. Cut along the bun lines to separate individual sliders. Serve hot and optionally garnish with hot sauce, jalapeños, pickled peppers, or mushrooms as desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute provolone with other melting cheeses like mozzarella or American cheese.
  • For added flavor, sauté mushrooms along with onions and peppers.
  • Use Hawaiian rolls for a slightly sweeter slider.
  • Make sure to drain excess fat from the beef to prevent soggy buns.
  • These sliders can be assembled the night before and baked fresh before serving.
