Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 12 slider buns
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Crispy rice (for topping, optional)
• Condiments and toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc.)

How to Make Savory Cheese-Stuffed Sliders

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Divide the beef mixture into 12 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a patty and place about a tablespoon of shredded cheese in the center. Fold the edges over the cheese to create a ball, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed.
4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cheese-stuffed beef balls and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F or 71°C).
5. While the beef is cooking, slice the slider buns in half and place them on a baking sheet.
6. Once the beef balls are cooked, place one on each slider bun bottom. Top with additional cheese if desired.
7. Place the tops of the buns on each slider and bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until the buns are golden and the cheese is melted.
8. Remove from the oven and top with crispy rice, if using, and your favorite condiments and toppings. Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to seal the cheese inside the beef well to prevent it from leaking out while cooking.
• Experiment with different types of cheese for varied flavors.
• For extra flavor, add some Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.

Easy Variations

• Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
• Add diced jalapeños or green chiles for a spicy kick.
• Use different seasonings, such as Italian herbs or taco seasoning, for a unique taste.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries.
• A fresh side salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
• Coleslaw for a crunchy contrast.
• Pickle spears for that classic burger pairing.
