Ingredients for White Trash Sliders

To create these cheesy, beefy sliders, you’ll need just a handful of simple and flavorful ingredients:

• Slider buns – Soft, buttery buns like Hawaiian rolls work perfectly.
• Ground beef – Use lean ground beef for the juiciest and most flavorful filling.
• Cheddar cheese – Sharp or mild cheddar melts beautifully and adds that irresistible cheesy layer.
• Onion – Sautéed onions add a sweet and savory note.
• Bell peppers – Red and green bell peppers add color and a subtle crunch.
• Garlic – Fresh minced garlic for added depth of flavor.
• Worcestershire sauce – Enhances the savory, umami flavor of the beef.
• Tomato sauce – Acts as the perfect base to tie all the flavors together.
• Butter – Brushed on the buns for a golden, toasty finish.

How to Make White Trash Sliders

These sliders are quick and simple to make, making them perfect for any occasion. Here’s how to bring them together:

Step 1: Cook the Beef Mixture

• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
• Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 2: Add Seasonings and Sauce

• Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and tomato sauce. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Assemble the Sliders

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves on a baking dish.
• Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Top with shredded or sliced cheddar cheese.
• Place the top buns on the cheese layer and brush the tops lightly with melted butter.

Step 4: Bake the Sliders

• Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

• Remove the sliders from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve warm.

Tips for Perfect Sliders

Make your White Trash Sliders even better with these simple tips:

• Don’t skip the butter – Brushing the buns with melted butter gives them a rich, golden finish.
• Customize the cheese – Swap out cheddar for pepper jack, provolone, or mozzarella for a different flavor.
• Add a kick – Mix in a little hot sauce or diced jalapeños for extra spice.
• Keep it warm – Use a slow cooker or warming tray to keep sliders warm for serving at parties.

How to Store Leftovers

If you have leftover sliders, they’re easy to store and reheat for another meal:

• Refrigerator – Place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Reheat – Warm sliders in the oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes, or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
