Cheeseburger Sliders are packed with traditional burger ingredients, crafted into bite-sized sandwiches. Perfect for potlucks, football gatherings, or a simple weeknight dinner option.
You can basically turn any kind of sandwich into a slider. I’ve made many sliders from Italian grinder, roast beef, chicken parmesan and even Thanksgiving leftovers.
There is something about a bite size sandwich that is more appealing to eat than a regular size sandwich. Sliders are always a hit for lunch or dinner in our household.
We like to serve cheeseburger sliders with French fries but you could also add in some sides such as coleslaw, tater tots, onion rings or potato salad.
Cheeseburger Slider Ingredients
- Ground Beef: I used 80/20 ground beef but you can use any lean ground beef for this recipe.
- Cheese: White American cheddar is what I used but any cheese can also be used.
- Buns: I used Hawaiian Rolls because they are soft and sweet but you can use any kind of slider buns or rolls you’d like.
- Seasonings: Any burger seasoning will work or a combination of seasonings you like to season your burgers with.
- Onion: A sauted, diced onion is used for a topping on the cheeseburgers but optional.
- Butter Spread: Melted butter is used for the topping of the buns so they don’t bun and the sesame seeds stick to them.
- Toppings: I left the toppings off besides the cheese and sauteed onions for everyone to add their own. You can add lettuce, tomatoes, condiments and whatever other toppings you’d like after they are cooked.
How to Make Cheeseburger Sliders
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Add ground beef to a bowl along burger seasoning and combine together.
Press the seasoned ground beef evenly into the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish.
Bake for 20 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain excess grease.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauted onions until translucent and fragrant.
Slice Hawaiian Rolls lengthwise and place in the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish.
Layer the rolls with the slab of cooked ground beef, cheese and onions.
Add top buns. Brush will melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds over top. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Slice individually and enjoy!
Helpful Tips and Variations
- Get creative with toppings! Lay out a mini condiment bar with items such as pickles, jalapenos, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce and sauces.
- Try different kinds of cheeses such as Pepper Jack, Swiss or any of your favorite cheeses.
- To prevent buns from getting soggy make sure to drain grease before putting on rolls. You can also add a layer of cheese slices on the bottom of the buns before the ground beef.
Storing Leftovers
Place leftovers in an airtight container. Store in fridge and consume within 4 days. Reheat in microwave to desired temperature.
