03 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
04 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
05 - 1/2 tsp onion powder

# How to Make It:

04 - Spread the cooked beef evenly over the bottom buns.
05 - Layer the cheese slices over the beef.

03 -
  • Toast the bottom buns in the oven for 3-5 minutes before adding the beef to create a moisture barrier that prevents sogginess

  • Cut the sliders with a serrated knife while still warm for the cleanest edges and to keep the fillings intact
