Oven-Baked Sliders

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 400°F.

2. 2

   Combine the ground sirloin, bread crumbs, chopped onions, and salt in a large bowl, mixing until uniform. Press the mixture evenly into a 9x13-inch baking pan to form a single flat patty, then pierce the surface all over with a fork.

3. 3

   Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. The meat will pull away from the edges and release liquid as it cooks. Once fully cooked through, carefully pour off the accumulated juices and leave the oven running.

4. 4

   Lay the cheese slices in an even layer over the cooked meat and return the pan to the oven for about 2 minutes until the cheese is melted. Let the meat rest briefly, then cut into 2-inch squares and tuck each square into a dinner roll to make 12 mini burgers.
