    Recipe Ingredients

    Ground beef slider ingredients lined up on a counter.

    Ground beef – Beef can be replaced with lean ground beef, ground turkey or ground chicken for a leaner cheeseburger slider recipe.

    Onion – Yellow onion or white onion may be used.

    Garlic – Fresh minced garlic can be replaced with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or garlic salt if desired.

    Seasonings – Keep it simple yet delicious with salt, black pepper, cumin and paprika.

    Diced tomatoes – Use a seasoned variety of canned tomatoes for a yummy flavor boost!

    Cheese – Consider swapping the cheddar cheese slices out with any type of melty cheese. Great options include mozzarella cheese, pepper jack, provolone, cojack or American cheese slices.

    Rolls – Dinner rolls or Hawaiian sweet rolls work best in this recipe. Consider making homemade dinner rolls for an added personal touch!

    Glaze – Butter, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce create the most delicious special sauce to spread over the tops of the hawaiian buns.

    How to Make Ground Beef Sliders

    Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray (or line with parchment paper) and set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook one pound of ground beef until no longer pink.

    Add the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika and diced tomatoes to the cooked beef in the skillet.

    Cooked ground beef, diced tomatoes and onions in a skillet.

    Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until onion and garlic is fragrant and soft. Remove from heat.

    Step 2

    Line the bottom of the greased baking dish with the bottom buns in a single layer. Top with the slices of cheese, the ground beef mixture and the tops of the buns.

    Step 3

    In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients: melted butter, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce.

    Mix well and brush evenly over the tops of the rolls. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Serve immediately!

    Store leftovers in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil for up to 5 days for best results.

    Recipe Notes

    • My family loved when I added a few slices of crispy bacon to the sandwiches for the last 5 minutes of baking to create delicious bacon cheeseburger sliders.
    • Use a sharp or serrated knife to cut the hamburger sliders in the pan before removing them.
    • Sweet Hawaiian rolls or small dinner rolls work great for this recipe.
    • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
    • Tuck a few pickle slices under the top buns just before serving!
    • Sesame seeds sprinkled over the top of the top slider buns before baking adds extra deliciousness.
    • Dill pickles make the perfect side for these loose meat sandwiches.
    • Dry onion soup mix mixed into the meat mixture packs a yummy punch.
    • Spread condiments onto the rolls as you desire! Mayo, mustard, ketchup (hey, no judgment) are all options!

    Slider vs Burger

    The main difference between sliders and burgers is their size. Sliders are typically smaller, contain fewer ingredients. They’re like mini burgers, easier and quicker to eat (they “slide” right down), making them the perfect party food or appetizer.

      really good flavor but top bun gets hard 30 minutes in oven @350

        Throw a sheet of aluminum foil in for the first half of the baking and you can avoid this if you’re experiencing it. Thanks for sharing, Kelly!

      The only drawback of this dish is that I would eat the whole pan by myself! 🙂
