Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan or baking dish
  • 1 pair of tongs
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 9x13-inch rectangle baking dish or 11x11-inch square baking dish (as shown)
  • aluminum foil or parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 6 slices uncooked bacon
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ cup onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ranch seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 12 Kings Hawaiian Rolls or similar
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or foil. Arrange the 6 bacon slices in a single layer and bake for 10–20 minutes until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Lower oven temperature to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground beef, ½ cup diced onion, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, 1 ½ teaspoons ranch seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Mix until well combined.
    Hamburger ingredients added to glass mixing bowl.
  • Press the beef mixture into a thin, even layer on a clean, foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside.

Notes

  • For softer sliders, cover with foil before baking the second time to steam the tops instead of toasting.
  • You can substitute the ground beef with turkey, chicken, or plant-based meat.
  • American cheese melts smoothly, but sharp cheddar or pepper jack adds more flavor.
  • Add pickles, ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce after baking if desired.
  • Use parchment under the beef patty for easy lifting.
Storage:
  • Refrigerate: Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: Wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight before reheating.
  • Reheat: Oven (wrapped in foil at 350°F for 10 minutes) is best. Microwave works for single servings.
