You’ll need:

- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Mix these ingredients in a small bowl. This tasty sauce will add flavor to your sliders and keep the buns moist.
Hamburgers
For the sliders, gather:
- 12 Hawaiian dinner rolls
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 slices cheddar cheese, cut in half
Don’t forget toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. These fresh add-ons will make your sliders even tastier.
Use lean ground beef for juicy patties without too much fat. The BBQ sauce adds a nice touch of sweetness. Hawaiian rolls give a soft, slightly sweet base for your mini burgers.
Instructions


Let’s walk through making these tasty cheeseburger sliders step-by-step. We’ll start with the sauce, then move on to assembling and cooking the hamburgers.
Sauce
Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk together melted butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and sesame seeds. Set this mixture aside for later use.
This flavorful sauce will be poured over the sliders before baking, adding moisture and extra taste.
Hamburgers
Preheat your oven to 350°F and butter a 9×13″ baking dish. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Spread mayo on the inside of the top half.
Mix ground beef with BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Form 12 small patties. Cook these in a skillet for about 2 minutes per side until no longer pink inside.
Place cooked patties on the bottom rolls in the baking dish. Top with cheese slices. Add the top half of the rolls.
Pour the prepared sauce over the sliders. Let it soak in for 10 minutes. Cover with foil and bake for 10-15 minutes. Uncover and bake 2 more minutes to brown the tops.

Add your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or pickles. Serve hot and enjoy your mini cheeseburgers!

Possible Substitutes List & Recipe Variations
You can swap out ingredients to make these sliders your own. Try ground turkey instead of beef for a leaner option. Veggie patties work great for vegetarians.
Mix up the cheese – pepper jack adds a nice kick. For a fancy twist, use brie or goat cheese. No cheddar? American cheese melts well too.
Instead of BBQ sauce, use ketchup or steak sauce in the meat. Add chopped onions or garlic for extra flavor.
Swap the Hawaiian rolls for brioche buns or regular slider buns. Whole wheat works for a healthier choice.
Get creative with toppings! Try avocado, bacon, or caramelized onions. Swap lettuce for arugula or spinach.
For the sauce, use honey mustard instead of regular mustard. Add hot sauce for some heat.
Make it your own:
- Buffalo style: Use buffalo sauce and blue cheese
- Mushroom swiss: Top with sautéed mushrooms and swiss cheese
- Pizza sliders: Use marinara and mozzarella
Don’t be afraid to experiment and find your favorite combo!
Tips, Tricks & Storing
Mix the beef gently to keep your sliders juicy. Overworking the meat can make them tough.
For extra flavor, try adding diced onions or minced garlic to the beef mixture.
Use a large knife to cut all the rolls at once. This keeps them connected and makes assembly easier.
Brush the rolls with melted butter before baking for a golden, crispy top.
You can prep the sliders ahead of time. Assemble them, cover with foil, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
Leftover sliders stay good in the fridge for 3-4 days. Wrap them in foil and reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
To freeze, wrap individual sliders in plastic wrap, then foil. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
For a fun twist, try different cheeses like pepper jack or Swiss.
Serve with a variety of toppings so everyone can customize their slider. Popular choices include:
- Pickles
- Sliced tomatoes
- Lettuce
- Bacon bits
- Sliced avocado
