Maid-Rite Sliders: A Delicious Take on a Classic Loose Meat Sandwich

Ingredients: What You’ll Need

For the Maid-Rite Meat Filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or 85/15 is ideal for a good balance of flavor and juiciness)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth (you can use low-sodium if you prefer)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp mustard (yellow or Dijon)
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp ground thyme (optional for added depth)
  • 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)

For the Sliders:

  • 12 slider buns (or small dinner rolls)
  • Butter (for toasting the buns, optional)
  • Cheese slices (optional, American or cheddar work well)
  • Pickles, mustard, or ketchup (optional toppings, but a great way to customize each slider)
