Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until browned and cooked through; drain excess fat.

- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra authenticity, you can use pretzel buns brushed with butter and coarse salt.
- Add shredded lettuce to each slider after baking for a fresher Big Mac feel.
