Classic Cheeseburger Sliders are mini oven-baked sandwiches featuring seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, and soft slider buns. A perfect bite-sized dish for parties, game days, or a family dinner, offering all the flavors of a traditional cheeseburger in a convenient, shareable form.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 for juiciness)

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 12 slider-sized buns (e.g., Hawaiian rolls)

  • 12 slices American cheese

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Prepare Beef Mixture:
    In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.

  • Assemble Sliders:
    Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact. Place the bottom halves in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

  • Layer Ingredients:
    Evenly distribute the cooked beef mixture over the bottom buns. Place a slice of cheese on top of the beef. Add any additional toppings if desired.

  • Top and Bake:
    Place the top halves of the buns over the cheese. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  • Bake:
    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  • Serve:
    Allow the sliders to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
