The Perfect Cheeseburger Sliders You’ll Want on Repeat
Sometimes the best meals come in the smallest packages. These cheeseburger sliders are bite-sized, juicy, cheesy, and built for sharing—though you might not want to. Whether it’s game night, a casual dinner, or a late-night craving, these sliders hit every comfort note with minimal effort and maximum flavor.
Why Sliders?
They’re easy to make, easy to eat, and endlessly customizable. You still get all the classic burger satisfaction—seasoned beef, melted cheese, toasted buns—but packed into cute, palm-sized portions that make any meal feel more fun.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 6–8 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
- 6–8 slices cheddar or American cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting buns)
Optional Toppings:
- Pickles
- Ketchup & mustard
- Thin-sliced onions
- Shredded lettuce
- Sliced tomatoes
- Special sauce (mayo + ketchup + pickle juice)
Instructions
1. Season the Meat
In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Don’t overwork it—just enough to combine.
2. Form the Patties
Divide into 6–8 equal portions. Roll into balls, then flatten slightly into patties just a bit larger than your buns—they’ll shrink while cooking.
3. Cook the Sliders
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the pan and cook patties for 2–3 minutes per side. Add cheese slices during the last minute so they melt perfectly.
4. Toast the Buns
While the patties cook, melt butter in a separate pan or on the griddle. Toast the slider buns cut-side down until golden.
5. Assemble
Layer each bottom bun with a cheesy patty, your favorite toppings, and a generous swipe of sauce. Add the top bun and gently press down.
Tips for Extra Juicy Sliders
- Don’t press the patties while cooking—you’ll lose moisture.
- Use freshly grated cheese if you want extra melt.
- Hawaiian rolls add a slightly sweet contrast that’s chef’s kiss.
