These Savory Mushroom Swiss Sliders are the perfect bite-sized indulgence. With juicy beef patties, earthy mushrooms, and melted Swiss cheese, they're sure to be a hit at your next gathering or a cozy night in.
The heart of our sliders is the ground beef, which forms the juicy base for each patty. We season it simply with garlic powder and onion powder to enhance its natural flavors. A touch of salt and black pepper rounds out the seasoning, ensuring every bite is perfectly balanced. Next, we have mushrooms, which add a delightful umami punch. Cooking them in olive oil helps bring out their depth of flavor. Meanwhile, Swiss cheese provides a creamy, slightly nutty finish that melts beautifully over the patties. Don't forget the butter—it adds a rich, golden brown crust to our patties. Finally, soft slider buns hold everything together, toasted to perfection for that satisfying crunch.
These sliders pair wonderfully with a crisp, tangy coleslaw or a simple green salad. For a more indulgent meal, serve alongside sweet potato fries or homemade potato chips. A cold, fizzy drink like soda or a light beer complements the rich flavors perfectly.
Start by mixing the ground beef in a bowl with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to gently combine the ingredients and form the mixture into 8 small, even patties. This way, they cook uniformly.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté them until they soften, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside for later.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Place the beef patties in the skillet, giving them enough space to sear nicely. Cook each side for about 3 minutes, or until browned. This creates a flavorful crust that locks in the juices.
Once the patties are cooked, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each one. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt evenly over the patties. This should only take a minute or so.
While the cheese is melting, toast your slider buns in a toaster or oven until they're just golden. This adds a nice crunch when you bite in.
To assemble, place each cheesy patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top with a generous spoonful of sautéed mushrooms and finish with the top bun. Serve immediately while everything is warm and melty.
