Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
Step 2: Prepare the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned. Make sure to break it up into small pieces as it cooks.
Step 3: Add Seasonings
Once the beef is cooked, add onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it cook for an additional minute.
Step 4: Assemble the Sliders
In a baking dish, layer half of the slider buns. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the buns, followed by slices of cheese on top.
Step 5: Add the Remaining Buns
Place the remaining slider buns on top of the cheese layer to complete the assembly.
Step 6: Prepare the Topping
In a small bowl, melt butter and mix in poppy seeds, onion powder, and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the top slider buns.
Step 7: Bake the Sliders
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 8: Serve
Once finished baking, remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing them into individual servings. Serve warm.
