INSTRUCTIONS FOR EASY CHEESEBURGER SLIDERS

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prep your 9×13 baking dish with aluminum foil and non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2:

Brown your ground beef in a large skillet with salt and pepper. Add in your diced onions once the beef is almost cooked through.

Tip: The onions should only take 2-3 minutes to soften.

Step 3:

Drain the fat from your beef mixture and set aside.

Step 4:

Cut your rolls lengthwise with a serrated knife and place the bottom side in your baking dish.

Step 5:

Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard in a small bowl. Spread on the bottom buns (bottom half of the buns).

Step 6:

Sprinkle the rolls with half of your cheese.

Step 7:

Top with the drained beef and onions mixture.

Step 8:

Add the last half of the cheese.

Step 9:

Add half a crispy bacon slice and a pickle slice to each roll.

Tip: This is an optional step. You can skip one or both of these ingredients if you choose.

Step 10:

Melt the butter in a microwave save container, and then stir garlic powder into the melted butter.

Step 11:

Place the top half of the rolls on the sliders and brush with the butter mixture. Then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 12:

Cover your baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 20-25 minutes. The cheese should be completely melted.

Step 13:

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the tops of the buns are golden.

Make These Baked Sliders Your Own

If you want to swap out ingredients in these baked sliders you can.

• If you don’t want cheese sliders don’t add cheese.
• If you don’t like cheddar, use different cheese like swiss cheese, provolone cheese, mozzarella etc. Just some kind of melty cheese.
• Can’t have sesame seeds? Why not use poppy seeds?
• Don’t like beef? Maybe use deli ham, honey ham, for some savoriness or leftover ham. You could even use roast beef. If you go that route, maybe an au jos dip would go well.
• You don’t have to use regular mustard, you can use dijon mustard.
• And you can season your ground beef how you would normally. You can use onion powder, worcestershire sauce. (Just don’t use too much liquid, only a couple teaspoons or a tablespoon.)
• You can add lettuce after you bake it too.
• Don’t like sweet Hawaiian rolls? Use any other dinner rolls. Make this easy weeknight dinner your own!

What You’ll Love About These Cheeseburger Sliders

What sets this cheeseburger slider recipe apart from your average cheeseburger is the fact that you are cooking in bulk! The ground beef goes in already cooked and ready to go, so you are just browning up your soft rolls and melting the cheese in the oven. I promise the garlic butter that goes on top of the rolls is a game-changing addition that your whole family will enjoy. 

I love making baked sliders and one-pan recipes because they save time and, ultimately, money too! You don’t have to worry about forming your ground beef into patties and making sure they’re all cooked the way you like. These sheet pan baked cheeseburger sliders would be a hit for your next big game party! What a fun way for little hands to get in on the action.

How to Make This Easy Baked Cheeseburger Slider Recipe

Our pan baked cheeseburger sliders is a recipe that takes minimal time and tastes delicious. Once the beef and onions are cooked, all that is left is to assemble and bake! My favorite part is how good it smells while it’s baking.

Hawaiian rolls are soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet. You can use any type of dinner roll you prefer, but I recommend you use the Hawaiian rolls at least once. When baked in the oven, they turn a beautiful golden brown color without changing the texture.
