Taco Beef Sliders are an easy, crowd-pleasing option for game day or a busy weeknight. Ground beef is cooked with red bell pepper, red onion and taco seasoning, then piled onto slider buns, topped with cheese and baked until melty. Finish with your favorite taco toppings for a simple, satisfying meal.

I’m not always glued to the football game, but I always show up for the food. These sliders are ideal for tailgates, parties or feeding a crowd. The taco-seasoned beef is flavorful on its own and also makes great leftovers. I often double or triple the batch so there’s enough for guests and for another meal later.
The combination of taco seasoning and salsa gives the meat great flavor. If you omit the taco seasoning, the sliders take on more of a cheeseburger profile. Toasted buns, a generous layer of shredded cheese and a brief bake bring everything together—top with shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro and fresh salsa for a bright finish.
