Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring a consistent temperature for optimal cooking.

- Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the optimal taste and melted cheese experience.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a healthier slider version.
- Experiment with different cheese types like pepper jack or sharp cheddar for varied flavor profiles.
- Customize sliders for dietary needs by using turkey meat, plant-based patties, or gluten-free buns for alternative options.
- Prep sliders ahead of time and refrigerate before baking for convenient meal planning and faster dinner preparation.
