Cheeseburger Sliders are cheesy, juicy and with a little bacon, everything you could want in a slider. These make for a lightning-quick dinner that everyone (and I mean everyone!) will love! Serve with Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries and Ambrosia Salad.

Best Rolls for Sliders

The best rolls for sliders that I have found is Sweet Hawaiian Rolls. You can find these in 12 or 24 ct packages at most groceries stores. For this recipe (unless you’re doubling the recipe) you’ll need a 12 ct package. These particular rolls make making sliders super easy. Keeping the rolls together, I like to run my knife through the entire tray of rolls, and peel back the top like opening a book. You can also use dinner rolls.

Best Ground Beef for Sliders

I like to stick with a leaner ground beef (90/10) or (97/3) fat content. You can use what you have on hand of course. Ultimately, you’ll be draining the fat and liquid before adding to the rolls anyway.

How to Make Cheeseburger Sliders

Start to finish, you’ll be sitting down to eat these in under 30 minutes! For full recipe details, see the printable recipe card down below. Here is what you can expect while making the Cheeseburger Sliders.

Preheat Oven, Prep Baking Sheet + Slice Rolls

Preheat the oven to broil (low). Line a baking sheet with foil. Place Hawaiian sweet rolls onto foil and slice entire slab of rolls across lengthwise. Open like a book and set aside.

Brown Ground Beef

In a large skillet, brown ground beef. Once it’s mostly browned, stir in green onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Continue cooking until completely browned. Drain most of the grease. Spoon ground beef overtop the bottom half of the rolls and spread evenly. Top with cheese and place under the broiler on low until the cheese is just melted. Remove from oven. Turn broiler off.

Cook the Bacon

Cook bacon until crispy and cut into smaller pieces to fit on each slider. Add bacon pieces on top of melted cheese and add the tops of the rolls.

Return to warm oven and keep warm until ready to serve. (You just want to warm the tops of the rolls a touch, about 3 minutes.

Serve Warm

Remove from oven and serve with any desired toppings.

Helpful Cheeseburger Slider Tips

• To make this recipe go REAL quick, use precooked bacon that you just have to crisp up in the microwave. It’s just SO easy and it tastes good too! Of course, you can cook your own on the stove, oven or airfryer. If you do choose to cook your own bacon instead of using precooked, look for the thick cut pepper bacon. That stuff is what dreams are made of.

• You can definitely form the ground beef into patties and cook them individually for each slider to make a prettier presentation. Just cover the ground beef mixture in a ton of cheese so it all stays put on the roll. 😉

Storing Leftover Sliders

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Beyond this time, the bread either dries out or becomes soggy.
