Description

Easy Cheeseburger Sliders have the classic flavor of your favorite burgers in bite-size form without the fuss of forming or grilling a single burger patty! A saucy ground beef mixture is nestled between two soft slider buns and topped with cheddar cheese and dill pickle. Perfect for a quick dinner and great for parties — the kids love them too!


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons mayonaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 package (12 sliders) dinner rolls
  • 1 block (8 ounces) cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 dill pickle, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is sizzling hot, about 1 minute. Add ground beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Break up beef into small pieces to help even browning.
  3. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
  5. Place the dinner rolls on the lined baking sheet. Slice the rolls evenly in half lengthwise and leave the bottom half in the baking sheet.
  6. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls, top with shredded cheddar cheese, and a sliced pickle. Finish by adding with the top half of rolls on top.
  7. Brush the tops evenly with melted butter and bake until golden brown and the cheese is completely melted, about 12-15 minutes. Slice and serve warm

Notes

How to store: Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Technically, they can last a few days longer, but the buns can become soggy from the moisture of the meat filling.

How to reheat: The quickest option is to microwave the slider for 1-2 minutes or until fully warmed through, but this can cause the rolls to become overly soft. I prefer to bake the leftovers in a 350 degree oven or air fryer for 5-10 minutes instead.

How to freeze: It's easiest to freeze any leftover filling, then thaw and assemble a fresh batch of sliders. Otherwise, the buns will become soggy as the meat mixture thaws in the fridge.
