Perfect for gatherings, game days, or cozy family dinners, they feature juicy beef, melty cheddar, and buttery golden buns all baked together for maximum flavor and minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 for best flavor and juiciness)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 12 slider buns or dinner rolls, split in half
  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese, sliced or shredded
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle chips (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed sheetpan with parchment paper or nonstick foil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix just until combined.
  3. Press the seasoned beef mixture evenly onto the prepared sheetpan, forming a thin layer about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the beef layer and gently spread into a thin, even coating.
  5. Sprinkle diced red onion and pickle chips evenly across the beef.
  6. Bake the beef layer for 13-15 minutes, or until fully cooked and sizzling at the edges. Drain excess fat if needed.
  7. Remove pan from oven and scatter cheddar cheese over the hot beef. Return to oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.
  8. Arrange split slider bun bottoms over the cheese layer, then place bun tops over each bottom half, pressing down gently.
  9. Brush melted butter over the tops of the buns. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, dried minced onion, and poppy seeds.
  10. Return sheetpan to oven and bake for another 6-8 minutes, until buns are golden brown and crisp at the edges.
  11. Remove from oven and let sliders rest for 2-3 minutes. Slice into individual sliders and serve hot.

Notes

For gluten-free, use GF slider buns. For dairy-free, use vegan cheese and plant-based butter. For extra-crispy buns, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end. Prep ingredients ahead for easy assembly. Watch the buns closely during the final bake to prevent burning. You can freeze leftovers wrapped in foil for up to 2 months.
