Burger sliders are not only delicious, but they are also adorable. Tiny cheeseburger sandwiches on sweet Hawaiian rolls are super cute, perfect for kids, and easy to make. Don’t just save these for the kids though, adults love them too, and they are a wonderful option for a casual dinner or football game day. I love to use Hawaiian rolls for these because they are soft and slightly sweet. They soak up the flavor from the meat without getting soggy, and are the perfect size for these cheeseburger sliders, whether you are eating them as a snack or making a meal out of them. Ground beef is so versatile! Try Ground Beef Stroganoff, Homemade Sloppy Joes, or Tater Tot Casserole if you’re looking for other delicious ways to cook it.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Ingredients Needed
These key ingredients create the perfect cheeseburger sliders! See the recipe card for full amounts and instructions. Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Ground Beef: I prefer to use lean ground beef to cut down on the amount of grease I need to drain off. Ground turkey can be substituted here as well. Onion and Garlic: These aromatic vegetables add home cooked flavor and moisture to the meat. Worcestershire Sauce: It may be difficult to pronounce, but Worcestershire sauce is a flavor king. It enhances the flavor of beef and makes it more savory. Dijon Mustard: More flavor! Dijon is a lovely, creamy and tangy mustard that is delicious on burgers. Rolls: My first choice for this recipe is Hawaiian Sweet Rolls. They are soft and just a bit sweet. You can also use dinner rolls. Make sure to choose the rolls that are already cooked and still stuck together. This will make everything so much easier. Cheddar Cheese: I like to use a sharp yellow cheddar, but you can use any type of cheddar that you like. Sliced cheese from the deli or cheese aisle will work better than shredded cheese. Butter: To get really beautiful browned tops on the rolls, a bit of melted butter does the trick. Sesame Seeds or Everything Bagel Seasoning: A burger without a sesame seed bun is just not as fun! For extra pizazz, use everything bagel seasoning instead.
