Instructions

In a large skillet, cook the ground sirloin beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Add the chopped green bell peppers, onion, and crushed garlic, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender.
2
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the two cans of Beefaroni, prepared yellow mustard, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3
Cover the skillet and allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
4
To assemble the sliders, spoon a generous amount of the beefaroni mixture onto the bottom halves of the mini sandwich buns. Place the top halves of the buns on each slider.

For added flavor and garnish, top each slider with a pickle chip, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
