Description

Cheeseburger Sliders are juicy, cheesy and beefy—everything we love about classic burgers! These sliders are quick and easy, plus they are make-ahead and reheat really well.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7 fat content)
  • 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 8 slices medium cheddar cheese
  • 6 oz medium cheddar, shredded (or use more sliced cheese)
  • 24 dinner rolls (or use 2 packs of 12)
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted, plus more to grease baking sheet
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Butter the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet.

2. Place a large skillet over medium/high heat with 1/2 Tbsp olive oil. Add diced onion then 2 lbs ground beef and break up with a spatula. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Saute over medium/high heat, breaking up the beef, and cook just until done. Remove from heat.

3. Tilt skillet to spoon off and discard excess fat. Stir 1/4 cup mayo into the ground beef mixture.

4. Cut buns in half. Place bottom halves of dinner rolls on buttered baking sheet and line with sliced cheddar cheese.

5. Spread ground beef mixture evenly over the cheese layer, using the back of a spatula to square off the edges.

6. Top the beef with shredded cheddar cheese.

7. Place the top buns, cut-side down, over the beef. Brush tops with 2 Tbsp melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

8. Bake at 350˚F for 12–15 minutes or until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown.

9. Serve warm or store and reheat for later.


Notes

These sliders are perfect for parties, game days, or quick dinners.

Can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.

Feel free to use different types of cheese based on your preference.

Serve with pickles, ketchup, or dipping sauces for extra flavor.
