olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier, while canola oil is often cheaper.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onions and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add diced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and black pepper; remove from heat.

In a bowl, combine ground beef with the mushroom mixture; mix until just combined.

Form the mixture into small patties, about the size of slider buns.

Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.

Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese; cover until melted, about 1-2 minutes.

Toast slider buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Assemble sliders by placing patties on buns and adding fresh parsley if desired.
