Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Ground beef | 1 1/2 pounds |
| Onion, finely chopped | 1 small |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Worcestershire sauce | 1 tablespoon |
| Beef broth | 1/2 cup |

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready when the sliders are assembled. - Cook the Beef and Onion
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the chopped onion, breaking up the meat as it browns. Continue until the beef is fully cooked and the onion is soft. - Season and Simmer
Add salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring well. Pour in the beef broth and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, until most of the liquid has reduced. - Prepare the Buns
Slice the slider buns horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms connected for easy assembly. - Assemble the Casserole
Place the bottom halves of the buns in a single layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the buns, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Add the top halves of the buns. - Top and Bake
Brush the buns with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, until golden and bubbly. - Serve
Allow to cool slightly, slice into individual sliders, and serve warm.
Enjoy your homemade Maid-Rite sliders casserole, packed with classic flavor and irresistible comfort.
