Cheeseburger Sliders
Juicy, flavorful burgers in a small package, these Cheeseburger Sliders are delicious, easy to make in 20 minutes and perfect for sharing! Make them for parties, tailgates or a fun dinner. Toss them on the grill or bake them in the oven for an easy, tasty meal!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef, 80/20
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, or American cheese
- 8 slider buns, or Hawaiian rolls
Instructions
- Combine the ground beef, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl.
- Form into 8 sliders, no more than 1 inch thick.
- Heat a grill to medium heat.
- Add the sliders to the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side.
- During the last minute of cooking time, place a slice of cheese on each slider. You’ll want to cut a slice of cheese in half, then fold each half in half, so you basically have a double slice of cheese on each burger patty.
- Once the cheese melts over the burgers, place them on buns.
- Add the sauce or toppings of your choice.
Notes
- To bake the sliders in the oven:
- Season the ground beef and form the slider patties.
- Preheat the oven broiler to high.
- Place the slider patties on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and into the oven, under the broiler, for 7 minutes.
- Remove the sliders from the oven, top with a slice of cheese and put them back under the broiler in the oven for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven, add to buns and serve immediately.
- To cook the sliders in an air fryer:
- Season the ground beef and form the slider patties.
- Place the patties in an air fryer basket and cook at 380°F for 8 minutes.
- After 8 minutes, remove the basket from the air fryer, top the burger patties with the cheese slices and place the basket with the sliders back in the air fryer for an additional 2 minutes.
- If you’re making the sliders for a party and want to keep the cheeseburgers warm, once they’re cooked, place them in a slow cooker on warm. I use this Casserole Crock Pot. Keep the buns and toppings on the side.
- To make a larger batch of sliders for a party, simply double or triple the ingredient amounts. This can be done in the recipe card above by switching the “serving amount” from 8 sliders, to 16 or 24.
- If serving these sliders at a party with several other appetizers, I recommend 1-2 sliders per person. If serving the sliders as a meal, I recommend 2-3 sliders per person.
- To make these sliders gluten free and low carb, serve the sliders in a lettuce wrap, instead of on a bun.
- Leftover sliders can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
