Description
These White Trash Sliders are a quick and delicious comfort food perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb sausage (any variety: breakfast, Italian, or mild)
- 1 lb Velveeta cheese, cubed
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 24 slider buns
Instructions
- Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and sausage, breaking them apart with a spatula. Cook them together until they are completely browned and cooked through, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Once the meats are cooked, carefully drain the excess grease; this helps prevent your sliders from getting oily, ensuring a light yet savory bite in every slider.
- Transfer the cooked meat mixture to a medium saucepan set over low heat. Add the cubed Velveeta cheese, black pepper, and onion powder. Stir continuously as the cheese melts; it’s crucial to keep the heat low to ensure the cheese becomes a smooth and combined mixture without scorching. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Once melted, you should have a creamy, luxurious filling that’ll hold up beautifully when stuffed into the slider buns.
- If you like a toasted bun, split your slider buns in half and lightly toast them in the oven or a toaster. This not only enhances the flavor but also gives the buns a slight crunch that contrasts beautifully with the gooey filling. Spoon a generous amount of the cheesy meat mixture onto the bottom half of each slider bun. Then, place the top half of the bun on, gently pressing down to secure the filling. Repeat until all the sliders are assembled.
- Arrange these warm sliders on a platter, serving them fresh from the oven. For a complete meal, consider pairing your sliders with pickles, chips, or a simple garden salad. Enjoy the smiling faces as your friends and family dig in, savoring every cheesy, meaty bite!
