Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Cheeseburger Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add onion, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Let cool slightly.
2️⃣ Make the Garlic Parmesan Butter
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, olive oil, and salt. Stir and set aside.
3️⃣ Assemble the Bombs
Slice slider buns in half, keeping the tops and bottoms attached.
Place the bottom halves in a greased baking dish.
Spoon the cheeseburger filling onto each bun and top with shredded cheese.
Place the top halves on and press gently.
Brush the tops generously with garlic Parmesan butter.
4️⃣ Bake
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and cheese is melted.
5️⃣ Serve
Garnish with extra parsley if desired. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch.
