Dr. Pepper Barbecue Beef Sliders – the ultimate flavor-packed bite!

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 cup Dr. Pepper soda

1/2 cup barbecue sauce

12 slider buns

Sliced pickles (optional, for topping)

Shredded cheese (optional, for topping)

Directions:

Prepare the Beef:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Simmer with Dr. Pepper:

Once the beef is browned, pour in the Dr. Pepper soda and barbecue sauce. Stir well, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and the beef is tender and flavorful.

Assemble the Sliders:

While the beef mixture is simmering, slice the slider buns and toast them lightly if desired. Once the beef is ready, spoon a generous portion onto each slider bun. Add sliced pickles and shredded cheese, if desired, to enhance the flavor.

Serve:

Serve your Dr. Pepper Barbecue Beef Sliders warm. These sweet, smoky, and savory sliders are perfect for a family dinner or party!
