Cheeseburger Sliders Recipe
These cheesy, flavorful baked cheeseburger sliders are one of the favorite burger recipes for any season and any occasion. They are easy to prepare and taste just as perfect as the classic cheeseburger you will get from restaurant.
Making a large batch of cheeseburgers and grilling a ton of patties one at a time is stressful and tiring. However, this recipe is a lifesaver and the result is always guaranteed.
Why This Recipe Works
It’s a perfect recipe for busy moms, young professionals, and those who need to prepare a quick and delicious weeknight dinner.
It’s one of the best recipes to make for a crowd or a dinner for game night. Make a large batch in advance and serve them individually whenever you are ready.
These sliders are freezer-friendly. You can make them ahead of time and store them in the freezer for those busy weeknights.
Recipe Ingredients
Mini homemade cheeseburger sliders call for:
- Ground beef
- Salt
- Ground black pepper
- Garlic powder
- White onion
- Cheddar cheese
- Homemade slider buns
- Unsalted butter
- Roasted white sesame seeds
- Fresh lettuce
- Tomatoes
Homemade slider buns are my first recommendation for these sliders; they are healthier and taste better. You may also make these mini cheeseburger sliders with King’s Hawaiian dinner rolls if you don’t have time to make buns.
There are some good substitutes for cheddar cheese, such as American cheese, Swiss, Monterey cheese, or any melty cheese you prefer.
If you don’t like fresh greens for topping, you may certainly switch them to pickles, thinly sliced red onion, or jalapeño for options.

How To Make Cheeseburger Sliders
Making these mouthwatering cheeseburger sliders are quick and easy.
First, marinate the ground beef and diced white onion in a bowl with other seasoning ingredients. Mix well and bake the beef in the oven until well done.
Next, slice the buns in half lengthwise and place them on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Assemble the cheeseburger slider with cooked beef and cheddar cheese. Brush the buns with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake until the cheese is melted.
Finally, serve these cheeseburger sliders immediately with fresh lettuce and tomato slices for toppings.
Cooking Tips
For the best result, please follow these tips:
- Choose lean ground beef rather than higher fat, so the meat has less fat to drain and won’t make the sliders soggy.
