Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) ground beef
- 1 lb (454 g) sausage
- 1 lb (454 g) Velveeta cheese
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 24 slider buns
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Sizzle ground beef and sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, methodically breaking down proteins while stirring to prevent burning, ensuring complete browning and fat rendering.
- Flavor Infusion: Transfer cooked meat to a saucepan, blending Velveeta cheese, onion powder, and black pepper over low heat, stirring continuously to create a smooth, creamy sauce that uniformly coats the meat.
- Slider Assembly: Carefully separate slider buns, generously ladling the hot cheese-meat mixture onto bottom halves, then topping with corresponding bun lids to create compact, mouthwatering handheld delicacies ready for immediate consumption.
Notes
- Meat Selection Matters: Choose a blend of ground beef and sausage for deeper, more complex flavor profiles that elevate the slider’s taste.
- Cheese Melting Technique: Stir Velveeta continuously over low heat to prevent scorching and achieve a silky, smooth cheese sauce that perfectly coats the meat.
- Fat Management: Drain excess grease after cooking meat to prevent soggy buns and maintain a clean, appetizing texture in your sliders.
- Serving Temperature: Serve sliders immediately while the cheese is hot and melted for the most enjoyable eating experience and optimal flavor integration.
