Cheeseburger Garlic Knot Slider 🍔🧄

Cheeseburger Garlic Knot Sliders are a fun and flavorful fusion of two beloved comfort foods: juicy cheeseburgers and buttery garlic knots. These bite-sized sliders are perfect for parties, game day snacks, or a casual family dinner. Imagine mini cheeseburgers stuffed inside fluffy garlic knots—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with melty cheese and savory beef in every bite.

Ingredients:

For the Sliders:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 works best)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese), quartered
  • 8 small garlic knot rolls (store-bought or homemade)

For the Garlic Knot Rolls:

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade dough, if preferred)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling

Optional Toppings:

  • Pickles
  • Ketchup
  • Mustard
  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes

Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Garlic Knots:
      • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
      • If using refrigerated biscuit dough, roll each piece into a rope and tie it into a knot. Place the knots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
      • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and garlic powder.
      • Brush each knot with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
      • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and fluffy. Let cool slightly.
    2. Cook the Burger Patties:
      • While the garlic knots are baking, season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently to combine.
      • Divide the beef into 8 equal portions and shape them into small patties to fit inside the garlic knots.
      • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
      • In the last minute of cooking, place a quarter slice of cheese on each patty to melt.
    3. Assemble the Sliders:
      • Carefully slice each garlic knot in half, creating a top and bottom bun.
      • Place a cheeseburger patty on the bottom half of each garlic knot.
      • Add optional toppings like pickles, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, or tomatoes, if desired.
      • Top with the other half of the garlic knot to complete the slider.
    4. Serve:
      • Serve these Cheeseburger Garlic Knot Sliders hot, paired with fries, chips, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.

Enjoy these mini cheeseburgers wrapped in buttery, garlicky goodness—the perfect bite-sized indulgence!
