Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Cheese grater or knife

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • cup old-fashioned oats
  • 10 ounces red enchilada sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 8 slices pepper jack cheese divided
  • 12 slider buns
  • 2 tablespoons chopped scallions for topping
  • Optional: Pinch of paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, diced onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, green bell pepper, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, breaking up the meat as it cooks, until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender.
  • Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Stir in the oats until evenly combined.
  • Add the red enchilada sauce and brown sugar. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  • Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping them connected if possible. Place the bottom half on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spread the beef mixture evenly over the bottom buns.
  • Lay 6 slices of pepper jack cheese over the meat mixture.
  • Place the tops of the buns back on. Cut the remaining 2 slices of pepper jack cheese into thin strips and sprinkle them over the tops of the buns.
  • Sprinkle the chopped scallions over the cheese. If desired, add a light sprinkle of paprika.
  • Bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through.
  • Separate the sliders, serve warm, and enjoy.
