INGREDIENTS NOTES
​
* I have no oven currently, so everything goes in to my tiny little Ninja Foodie. In my opinion, my sliders were STUFFED with the meat mixture. I think you could spread the mix out to ten - 12 slider buns depending on how full you want them. You could also just stick with 8 and get 8 REALLY meaty sliders.

* Don't buy pre-shredded cheese. Take the extra time to shred your own. Pre-shredded cheese contains chemicals to keep it from melting and sticking together in the bag.

* Make sure you're buying vegetarian / vegan labelled Worcestershire. Traditional worc contains anchovies.

DIRECTIONS

• Begin heating a couple tablespoons of EVOO in a large skillet set to about medium heat. Once heated, add the diced red onions, pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt & pep. Stir and cook until onions are translucent, about 5ish. Add the plant-based beef and break it down in to smaller crumbles, mixing often as it browns. 

• Once the beef is mostly browned, add the mustard, worcestershire, onion powder, and another pinch of both salt & pep. Continue to stir and cook until browned. Taste and adjust mustard / salt if desired. Additionally, you COULD add ketchup, I opted not to.
• Preheat oven to 350 F
• Slice open your slider buns and place the bottoms in to a baking dish they'll fit snuggly in. Spoon the meaty mixture over the bottoms of the buns, piling it on until you've used all of it. Try to spread it in to a thick layer if possible. 

• Pile on the shredded monterey jack to cover the entire meat mixture. Next, top with the sliced red onions and pickle rounds. Place the tops on the buns, nestling them down in to the toppings.
• Melt the butter in the microwave and brush the tops of all of the slider buns. Sprinkle some white sesame seeds & a little everything bagel seasoning on to each bun.
• Bake at 350 F for 12 - 15 minutes until buns are crispy and golden brown.
• ​Remove from oven and serve. ENJOY!
