Recipe Details

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Servings: 6 (2 sliders per serving)
  • Difficulty: Intermediate

Ingredients

  • 12 slider buns or dinner rolls
  • 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 12 small patties.

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Set aside.

  4. In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter with olive oil. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are golden brown.

  5. Slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  6. Layer each bun with a beef patty, sautéed mushrooms, and half a slice of Swiss cheese.

  7. Place the top buns on the sliders.

  8. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the top of the buns.

  9. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes.

  10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and buns are lightly toasted.

  11. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Chef's Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the beef patties with grilled portobello mushroom caps.
  • You can prepare the patties and sauté the mushrooms ahead of time for quicker assembly.
  • Experiment with different cheese varieties like Gruyère or sharp cheddar for unique flavor profiles.
  • To make ahead, assemble the sliders but don't add the butter topping until just before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
