# Directions:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned. Drain excess fat from the pan.
02 -
Reduce heat to medium. Add tomato sauce, ketchup, water, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Let simmer while stirring frequently until mixture thickens slightly, about 5–7 minutes.
03 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Lightly coat a 33x23 cm baking dish or sheet with nonstick spray.
04 -
Arrange buns in the prepared baking dish. Cut a slit in the centre top of each bun. Place a little smokie or piece of hot dog into each slit.
05 -
Spoon chili evenly over each sausage, making sure to get some inside the slit. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
06 -
Bake uncovered for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and buns are lightly toasted. Separate buns and serve immediately while hot.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, serve sliders fresh from the oven. Overfilling the buns may make them difficult to handle.
