- 2 pounds ground beef
- ¼ cup bread crumbs Panko
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ packet ranch seasoning remaining used in sauce

- Preheat griddle or cast iron over medium-high heat.
- Melt butter with remaining ranch seasoning to create ranch butter.

- Toast buns in remaining ranch butter for ~30 seconds per side.
- Assemble sliders with sauce, patties, and toppings. Serve with extra sauce for dipping.
