| Ground beef | 1½ pounds |
| Onion, finely chopped | 1 small |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |
| Black pepper | ¼ teaspoon |
| Worcestershire sauce | 1 tablespoon |

Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Brown the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is tender. Drain excess grease if necessary.
3. Add Seasonings
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour in the beef broth and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing most of the liquid to reduce.
4. Prepare the Buns
Carefully slice the slider buns horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact as separate connected layers.
5. Assemble the Casserole
- Place the bottom half of the buns in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread the beef mixture evenly over the buns.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese across the meat layer.
- Position the top half of the buns over the cheese.
6. Add the Topping
Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds.
7. Bake
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the cheese is fully melted.
8. Serve
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing into individual sliders.
