Delicious Cheeseburger Sliders Recipe

Hey there! Today, I’m going to share with you my super easy and delicious cheeseburger slider recipe. These little sliders are perfect for parties, game nights, or cravings for something cheesy and satisfying.

They’re small, but they pack a big flavor punch! Let’s get started.

What’s in These Cheeseburger Sliders?

These sliders are like mini cheeseburgers, but they’re made all at once on a baking sheet, so they’re super easy to make.

You’ve got soft slider buns, juicy ground beef, melted cheese, and all the classic burger toppings like pickles, onions, and a special sauce.

They’re gooey, cheesy, and so tasty. Plus, they’re great for feeding a crowd because you can make a bunch at once.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these yummy cheeseburger sliders:

• 12 slider buns (you can find these in the bakery section of most grocery stores)
• 1 pound ground beef (I use 80/20 for the best flavor)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 6 slices of cheese (I like cheddar, but you can use American or any cheese you like)
• 1/2 cup diced onions (optional, but they add great flavor)
• 1/4 cup pickles (sliced, for topping)
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted, for brushing on the buns)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

How to Make Cheeseburger Sliders

Okay, let’s get cooking! Don’t worry, it’s really simple. Just follow these steps:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

First, turn on your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will give it time to heat up while you prepare everything else.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef

Grab a skillet or frying pan and put it on the stove over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a spoon or spatula. Cook it until it’s browned and no longer pink. While it’s cooking, add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. These spices will make the beef taste amazing! Once it’s cooked, drain any extra grease from the pan.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

While the beef is cooking, let’s make the sauce. In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard. This sauce is tangy, creamy, and perfect for sliders. Set it aside for now.

Step 4: Prepare the Slider Buns

Take your slider buns and cut the whole pack in half horizontally, so you have a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom half of the buns in a baking dish or on a baking sheet. Spread half of the sauce you just made over the bottom buns.

Step 5: Add the Beef and Cheese

Now, spread the cooked ground beef evenly over the bottom buns. Next, place the slices of cheese on top of the beef. If you want extra cheesiness, you can tear the slices into smaller pieces to cover more area.

Step 6: Add the Toppings

Sprinkle the diced onions (if you’re using them) and pickles over the cheese. Then, spread the rest of the sauce on the inside of the top buns. Place the top buns over the beef and cheese to close the sliders.

Step 7: Brush with Butter

Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove. Use a brush (or just a spoon) to spread the melted butter over the tops of the buns. This will make them golden and crispy when they bake. If you like, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for a little extra crunch.

Step 8: Bake the Sliders

Put the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn!

Step 9: Slice and Serve

Once they’re done baking, take the sliders out of the oven. Let them cool for just a minute or two, then use a sharp knife to cut them into individual sliders. They’re ready to serve!

Cooking Time

From start to finish, these cheeseburger sliders take about 30-40 minutes to make. That includes cooking the beef, assembling the sliders, and baking them. It’s a quick and easy recipe, especially when you’re in a hurry or need to feed a hungry crowd.

Serving

These sliders are perfect for sharing! One batch makes 12 sliders, which is enough for about 4-6 people, depending on how hungry everyone is. You can serve them with sides like fries, potato chips, or a simple salad. They’re also great for parties because you can just set them out on a platter and let everyone grab their own.

If you have leftovers (which is rare because they’re so good!), you can store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just reheat them in the oven or microwave when you’re ready to eat them again.

Tips and Tricks

• Customize the toppings: You can add anything you like to these sliders. Try bacon, jalapeños, or even a slice of tomato.
• Use different cheese: If you’re not a fan of cheddar, try Swiss, pepper jack, or mozzarella.
• Make it spicy: Add a little hot sauce or chili powder to the beef for a kick.
• Mini sliders: If you want even smaller sliders, use dinner rolls instead of slider buns.
