Indulge in gooey BBQ beef and cheese stuffed pretzel sliders—quick and easy comfort food perfection with rich flavors and a melty center.
Ingredients
- • Ground beef: 1 pound
- • Onion powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • BBQ sauce: 1/2 cup
- • Cream cheese: 4 ounces, softened
- • Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- • Pretzel slider buns: 8
- • Melted butter: 2 tablespoons
- • Coarse salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Optional: Sliced pickles and crispy onions for topping
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef along with onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- 3 Reduce the heat to low and stir in the BBQ sauce, allowing the flavors to meld for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and fold in the cream cheese until fully blended with the beef mixture.
- 4 Split the pretzel slider buns in half. Spoon a generous amount of the BBQ beef mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese and cover with the top half of the bun.
- 5 Brush the tops of the sliders with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt. Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is gooey and the pretzel tops are golden brown.
- 6 Serve the sliders warm, optionally garnished with sliced pickles and crispy onions for extra crunch and flavor contrast.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve these Gooey BBQ Beef & Cheese Stuffed Pretzel Sliders with a side of sweet potato fries or a crisp coleslaw to balance the richness of the sliders. A cold glass of craft beer or iced tea makes a perfect beverage pairing to complement the smoky flavors. For an added indulgence, pair with a creamy, tangy ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For reheating, warm them up in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving to maintain the pretzel's texture.
