Why You’ll Love Them
White Trash Sliders combine juicy ground beef, flavorful sausage, and a generous helping of Velveeta cheese for a creamy, savory filling. Soft slider buns cradle this rich mixture, creating an irresistible handheld meal everyone will fight over. Bonus? They’re super simple to make and can be customized to suit any taste.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb sausage (any variety: breakfast, Italian, or mild)
- 1 lb Velveeta cheese, cubed
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 24 slider buns
Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Meat
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and sausage together until fully cooked. Drain excess grease to keep the sliders from getting too oily.
2️⃣ Make the Cheesy Filling
Transfer the cooked meat to a saucepan over low heat. Add Velveeta cubes, black pepper, and onion powder. Stir continuously until the cheese melts completely into a smooth, creamy mixture.
3️⃣ Toast and Assemble the Sliders
Split your slider buns and toast lightly if desired. Spoon a generous amount of the cheesy meat mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with the other half.
4️⃣ Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm, fresh from the oven. Pair with pickles, chips, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
Tips & Variations
- Add Heat: Use spicy Italian sausage or mix in jalapeños for a kick.
- Breakfast Twist: Add a fried egg to each slider for a morning treat.
- Cheese Swap: Try sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or smoky gouda instead of Velveeta.
- Keep Warm: Use a slow cooker on “warm” if serving a crowd.
Storage & Make-Ahead
- Make Ahead: Prepare the meat and cheese filling up to two days in advance.
- Freeze: Fillings freeze well up to 3 months—just thaw overnight before reheating.
