Prep 15 min · Cook 5 min

Place a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Add the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, breaking the meat up with a spoon, until the beef is browned and the vegetables are soft, about 6 minutes.
Stir the garlic and tomato paste into the beef mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the paste turns a deep brick red and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, salt, pepper, and water. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded, about 5 minutes. Taste and add a pinch more salt if needed. Done when meat is cooked through, 160°F.
While the beef simmers, toast the split slider buns in a separate pan or toaster until golden. Spoon about half of the beef mixture onto the bottom half of each bun and top with the other halves.
