Cheese: American cheese is classic for its meltiness, but cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack are great options too.
Seasonings: A blend of garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and salt enhances the beef’s flavor.
Butter Glaze: A mixture of melted butter, sesame seeds, and seasonings gives the rolls a golden, flavorful finish.
Toppings: Pickles, onions, ketchup, and mustard add the perfect finishing touches.

How To Make Cheeseburger Sliders

These sliders are simple to assemble and bake. Follow these steps for perfect results every time:

Prepare the Beef: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles. Add garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt. Cook until fully browned and drain any excess grease.
Prepare the Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact. Place the bottom half in a greased baking dish.
Assemble the Sliders: Spread the cooked beef evenly over the bottom rolls. Lay slices of cheese over the beef, ensuring full coverage. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.
Add the Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, melt butter and mix in sesame seeds, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
Bake: Cover the sliders with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
Serve: Let the sliders cool for a few minutes, then slice them apart and serve with your favorite condiments.

Storage Options

If you have leftovers (unlikely!), here’s how to store and reheat them:

Refrigeration: Store sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Wrap each slider individually in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Warm sliders in a 350°F oven until heated through. If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about these sliders is how customizable they are. Here are a few ideas to try:

Switch the Cheese: Use sharp cheddar, Swiss, or blue cheese for a unique twist.
Add Toppings: Include bacon, caramelized onions, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
Change the Meat: Swap ground beef for ground turkey, chicken, or a plant-based alternative.
Make It Spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce to the beef or sprinkle red pepper flakes into the butter glaze.
Upgrade the Glaze: Mix Dijon mustard or Parmesan cheese into the butter for an extra kick.
