Main Ingredients
- 1 lb lean but juicy ground beef (preferably 80/20 blend)
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 10–12 slider buns, soft and small
Optional Toppings
- Mustard
- Pickles
- Ketchup
- Cheddar, Swiss, or American cheese slices
- Diced jalapeños or hot sauce (for spicy variation)
- Barbecue sauce (for BBQ style)
- Preparing the Meat: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the diced onions. Cook until translucent, then add the ground beef. Break the beef apart thoroughly with a wooden spoon to achieve the classic loose texture.
- Seasoning and Cooking: Once the beef is partially browned, pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid evaporates. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preparing the Buns: While the meat simmers, lightly toast the slider buns to add crunch and prevent sogginess from the juicy meat.
- Assembling the Sliders: Spoon generous portions of the seasoned loose meat onto the bottom halves of the buns. Add your choice of toppings such as mustard, pickles, or cheese, and then place the top bun to complete the slider.
Notes
- Use 80/20 ground beef for the ideal balance of flavor and moisture.
- Do not overcook the meat; simmer just until the liquid reduces to keep it moist.
- Break the meat apart fully during cooking for a loose-meat texture.
- Lightly grill or toast buns for better texture and to hold up against juicy meat.
- Make sliders bite-sized so guests can enjoy multiple flavors.
