Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious cheeseburger sliders:

• Lean ground beef: Use 90/10 or 93/7 fat content for the best flavor and texture.
• Olive oil: For sautéing the onions and ground beef.
• Salt, black pepper, and garlic powder: For seasoning the beef.
• Yellow onion: Finely diced, for flavor and texture.
• Mayonnaise: Adds creaminess and richness to the beef mixture.
• Cheddar cheese: Sliced and shredded, for that classic cheeseburger flavor.
• Dinner rolls: Use soft and fluffy dinner rolls for the best results.
• Unsalted butter: Melted, for brushing the tops of the sliders.
• Sesame seeds: For sprinkling on top of the sliders.

How to Make Cheeseburger Sliders

Step 1: Prepare the Beef Mixture

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Butter the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and ground beef, and break up the beef with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the beef is cooked through, then remove from heat. Drain off any excess fat and stir in the mayonnaise.

Step 2: Assemble the Sliders

Cut the dinner rolls in half. Place the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet and top with a layer of sliced cheese. Spread the ground beef mixture evenly over the cheese, then top with the shredded cheddar cheese. Place the top halves of the rolls, cut-side down, over the cheese.

Step 3: Bake and Serve

Brush the tops of the sliders with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown. Serve immediately.
