Cheeseburger sliders are a great way to feed a crowd. These baked sliders are easy to make and perfect for your next party or game day gathering. You can whip them up in under an hour using simple ingredients like ground beef, cheese, and Hawaiian rolls.

The best part? You don’t have to form individual patties. Just press the seasoned beef into a baking dish, cook it, and then assemble the sliders. Top them with a tasty glaze for extra flavor. Your guests will love these mini burgers packed with cheesy, beefy goodness.

Exact Ingredients List
This recipe requires two sets of ingredients: one for the cheeseburgers and another for the optional glaze. The cheeseburger ingredients create the hearty base, while the glaze adds extra flavor.
For the Cheeseburgers
You’ll need:
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 12 slider-sized Hawaiian rolls (1 package)
- 12 (3/4-ounce) cheese snack bars, any flavor
These ingredients form the core of your sliders. The ground beef is seasoned with spices for taste. Olive oil helps cook the onions, while the rolls and cheese complete the mini burgers.
For the Glaze (Optional)
For extra flavor, you can make a glaze with:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (1/2 stick)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds
This glaze adds a sweet and savory touch to your sliders. The melted butter forms the base, while the other ingredients bring in different tastes. The sesame seeds give a nice crunch on top.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Mix the ground beef with garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Press this mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish, making sure it’s flat and even. Bake for 20 minutes, then drain the liquid.
While the beef cooks, sauté the diced onion in olive oil until it’s see-through and smells good. Drain any extra oil.
Cut your Hawaiian rolls in half like a big sandwich. Put the bottom half in the baking dish. Layer the cooked beef, onions, and cheese slices on top. Add the top half of the rolls.
If you want a glaze, mix melted butter, salt, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and sesame seeds in a small bowl. Brush this over the rolls or pour it on top.
Bake everything for another 20 minutes. The bread should be toasty and the cheese melty. Cut into individual sliders and serve them hot. Enjoy your tasty mini cheeseburgers!
Possible Substitutes List & Recipe Variations
