Why You'll Love These Cheeseburger Sliders

• Easy to Make - Baked in the oven in a large patty, so no need to worry about forming individual meat patties or cooking the burgers in a large skillet. 
• Feed a Crowd - The cheeseburger slider recipe can easily be doubled making them a great option to serve at birthday parties, game day events, and special occasions. 
• Versatile - They can be customized to meet your taste and preference by adding your favorite burger topping and condiments. 

Ingredients You'll Need

1. Ground Beef - Use any pound of ground beef that you prefer. I love using a ground chuck or lean ground beef with an 80/20 fat ratio. 
2. Onion - Use any yellow onion or white onion to add an earthy and slightly sweet flavor to the ground beef. 
3. Worcestershire Sauce - Gives the burgers a savory and umami flavor that makes a difference, do not omit. 
4. Paprika - Adds a smokey and slightly sweet flavor to the slider recipe. 
5. Garlic Powder - Gives the ground beef mixture a slightly pungent and dry garlic flavor. Feel free to use more. 
6. Ground Cumin - Provides a nutty and slightly peppery flavor. 
7. Salt and Ground Black Pepper - Brings out the recipe's flavors and adds some seasoning. If you need more, then feel free to add more.
8. Ranch Seasoning - A dry seasoning blend that adds a slightly tangy and creamy flavor to the burger patties. 
9. Slider Buns - Use a 12-pack of slider rolls to make this burger recipe. I chose to use the King's Hawaiian Rolls, but if you prefer to use the savory version, they will work too.
10. Bacon - Adds a salty ingredient to the sliders that gives them another layer of flavor. May omit if you prefer. 
11. Sliced Cheddar Cheese - For this recipe, I decided to go with some American cheese slices for more of that mild cheesy flavor, but you may use any that you prefer. Try using sharp cheddar or pepper jack.
12. Butter - This will help to make the sauce that will top the sliders and bake into the bread for a nice buttery bite.
13. Fresh Parsley - Use parsley that can be easily located in the produce section of the grocery store. It adds a bit of freshness to the buttery sauce added to the top of the cheeseburger sliders.
14. Mayonnaise - Spread on the bottom buns to add a slightly sweet and tangy flavor.

How to Make Cheeseburger Sliders with Hawaiian Rolls

Begin the recipe by cooking the bacon in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and line a 9x13 inch baking dish or rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place the bacon side by side on the prepared tray, and cook for 10 to 20 minutes until it reaches your desired level of crispness.

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and use tongs to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain the bacon fat from the baking sheet and refresh it with a new piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. 

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, diced onion, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, ranch seasoning mix, salt, and ground black pepper.

Mix until combined and press the beef into the bottom of the prepared baking sheet into a flat and even layer.

Place into the oven to bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Once done drain the liquid and set aside. 

Using a 9x13 inch or 11x11 inch baking dish, slice the Hawaiian buns lengthwise and place the bottom half in the baking dish. 

Top the bottom buns with an even layer of mayonnaise. 

Add the cooked beef and bacon in a single even layer. 

Place the sliced cheese on top of the layer of bacon. 

Add the other half of the top of the rolls and brush the tops of the rolls liberally with melted butter and parsley. 

Bake in the for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the top bun is toasted golden brown. 

Remove from the oven, slice into individual sliders, and serve warm with french fries, sweet potato fries, and special sauce. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips & Tricks

• If you prefer a softer slider texture similar to Krystal and White Castle, then before placing the assembled sliders into the oven to bake, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. This will cause the mini burgers to steam, making them soft and juicy. 
• Try to layer all of the ingredients evenly on top of the slider buns to make sure they cook evenly and each burger has an even amount of ingredients. The slices of cheese will hold everything together as it melts. 
• These cheese burger sliders are basic but feel free to get creative by adding your favorite toppings to make them more of your own. Try adding in some Dijon mustard, ketchup, pickles, or burger sauce. 
• I like using King's Hawaiian Rolls for a sweet and savory taste, but feel free to use any slider buns or dinner rolls that you prefer. 

Storage Tips

Storage.  If you have any leftovers, then be sure to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating. When you're ready to serve the sliders again, cover them in aluminum foil and reheat them in the oven at 350 degrees F. for about 5 to 10 minutes until heated thoroughly. You can also reheat them in the microwave or air fryer for a quicker option. 

Freezing. The cooked and completely cooled sliders may also be stored in the freezer in a freezer-safe container or plastic freezer bag for up to 30 days. Allow them to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating to serve.
