Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1 can (15 oz) of your favorite chili (meat or vegetarian)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced yellow onions

1/2 cup diced red or green bell peppers

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

12 slider buns

Optional toppings: sour cream, sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions, slices of avocado

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it's ready when you're assembling the sliders.

    Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break it into small pieces as it cooks. Continue cooking until it is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

      Add Vegetables: Incorporate the diced onions and bell peppers into the skillet. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

        Mix in Chili: Pour in the canned chili along with the chili powder, garlic powder, and season generously with salt and pepper. Stir well and allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine beautifully.

          Assemble Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves on a baking sheet. Generously spoon the chili-beef mixture onto each bun half, ensuring an even distribution.

            Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chili-beef mixture on each slider, allowing for a cheesy explosion when baked.

              Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the buns are lightly toasted and golden brown.

                Serve: Carefully remove the sliders from the oven. Add your choice of optional toppings, such as a dollop of sour cream, slices of jalapeños for heat, chopped green onions for freshness, or creamy avocado slices. Cap each slider with the top halves of the buns.

                  Enjoy: If desired, slice the sliders in half for easy handling, serve warm, and dig into your scrumptious Cheesy Chili Blast Sliders!
