ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

slider buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: plain sandwich bread

Whole grain buns add fiber, while sandwich bread is more economical.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese slices

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option, while processed cheese is often cheaper.

Worcestershire sauce

🥗Healthier: soy sauce

💰Cheaper: homemade Worcestershire

Soy sauce is lower in calories, and homemade can be cost-effective.

Brown 1 pound of ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add 1/2 cup of chopped onions and diced bell peppers to the skillet.

Season the meat with salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, and a splash of barbecue sauce.

Add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste or sauce and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar to the mixture.

Stir everything together and let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.

Slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half using a serrated knife, keeping the bottom half slightly thicker.

Spoon a generous amount of the meat mixture onto each bottom bun.

Add a slice of cheese on top of the meat.

Brush the assembled sliders with a mixture of melted butter and minced garlic.

Arrange the sliders on a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake the sliders for about 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese melts and the buns toast.

Drain any excess grease from the meat to avoid sogginess.

Let the meat cool slightly before assembling the sliders.

Cover the baking dish with foil during most of the baking time, uncovering it near the end to allow the tops to brown.
