Ingredients Needed

King’s Hawaiian Slider Buns – If you can’t find sweet Hawaiian rolls, any dinner roll can work. 

Cheese – I use American cheese slices and shredded cheddar cheese. Sub with cheddar or Monterey jack cheese depending on your preference.  

Steak seasoning – If you can’t find steak seasoning, you can make your own using some common household spices like chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. 

Ground beef – Use lean ground beef, or swap with ground turkey or ground meat of your choice. 

Sweet onion – Replace diced onions with white or Vidalia onions. 

Mayo – Replace mayo with Miracle whip or sour cream. 

Pickles – I like dill pickles, but you can also use sweet pickles if you prefer. 

Yellow mustard – Swap for Dijon mustard for a spicier flavor. 

Cheddar cheese – Replace with a mixed blend of cheeses. 

Sesame seeds – Replace with poppy seeds as necessary. 

Pantry staples – Mayo, melted butter (unsalted), olive oil.

How To Make Cheeseburger Sliders Recipe

First: Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a large baking sheet or baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.  

Second: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook over medium-high heat until the start to soften.

Third: Add ground beef and spices. Cook until there’s no pink left, and drain. Remove skillet from heat. Add the mayo and mustard to the meat mixture and stir to combine.

Fourth: Place the bottom half of buns onto the prepared sheet pan. Cover bottom buns with American cheese slices generously.

Fifth: Top with ground beef and onion mix. Add small pieces of pickle or pickle slices to each of the individual patties. Top mixture with shredded cheese. 

Sixth: Add the top of the rolls over the meat mixture. Press down on top buns. Melt butter in a small bowl and brush the top of the rolls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until bun tops begin browning. Remove from oven and enjoy.

How many sliders are needed per person?

If you’re trying to plan for those busy weeknight dinners or want to make sure you have enough food to go around on game day, I recommend planning on 3 mini cheeseburgers per person for the perfect recipe ratio.

For a large crowd, always make more than you think you need. Leftovers from this recipe can be stored for up to 4 days in an airtight container.

Or casserole dish sealed tightly with plastic wrap for the next time you want something to grab and heat up in the air fryer or oven.

Tapas Tips & Tricks

• Prep the meat and onions ahead of time and store until ready to use. Place in a large bowl and combine with remaining ingredients.
• To serve these sloppy joes style, keep your layer of ground beef loose when placing it on the bottom rolls and mix with the shredded cheese. 
• If you’re a big bacon fan, you can add a slice of crispy bacon right below the tops of the rolls, for bacon cheeseburger sliders.
• To stop the tops of your buns from burning, cover with aluminum foil for the first 15 minutes, and bake uncovered for the remaining 5. 
• A great way to save time on cleaning when making this easy sliders recipe is by lining your baking dish with parchment paper, rather than using cooking spray.
