Instructions:
-
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve:
- Serve these Cheeseburger Garlic Knot Sliders hot, paired with fries, chips, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
