Maid-Rite Sliders: A Classic Twist on an Iconic Sandwich

ADVERTISEMENT

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Beef Mixture:
    • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Break the meat into small crumbles as it cooks.
    • Drain any excess fat, then stir in the Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors. Remove from heat.
  3. Assemble the Sliders:
    • Without separating the rolls, slice the entire set of buns in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom half of the buns in the prepared baking dish.
    • Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the bottom layer of the buns. Place half slices of American cheese over the beef, then top with dill pickle chips if desired.
    • Place the top half of the buns over the cheese and beef layer.
  4. Make the Butter Topping:
    • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar. Whisk until well blended.
    • Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the sliders, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Bake:
    • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crispy.
  6. Serve:
    • Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before cutting them apart. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Maid-Rite Sliders

  • Choose the Right Cheese: American cheese melts perfectly, but you can also use cheddar, Swiss, or any other melty cheese you love.
  • Add Some Crunch: Dill pickles add a nice tangy crunch that contrasts beautifully with the richness of the beef and cheese. You can also add a few sliced onions for extra flavor.
  • Customize Your Filling: Feel free to get creative with your sliders by adding a little ketchup, BBQ sauce, or even jalapeños for a spicy kick.
