Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 12 mini burger buns or slider buns
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 12 slices turkey pepperoni
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or casserole dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
  3. Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
  4. Add the pizza sauce and simmer for about 3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Slice the mini buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Spoon the beef mixture evenly over each bun bottom.
  7. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Add one slice of turkey pepperoni to each slider.
  9. Place the top halves of the buns over the filling.
  10. Mix melted butter, parsley, and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl and brush over the tops of the buns.
  11. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 5 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
  12. Serve warm with fries, salad, or dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Do not overload the sliders with sauce to prevent soggy buns.
  • Whole wheat slider buns can be used for a healthier option.
  • Customize with mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, or pineapple.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze individually wrapped sliders for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in a 350°F oven for best texture.
