Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
- 6–8 slices of cheddar or American cheese
- ½ cup finely diced onions (optional)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional for topping)
Topping ideas: pickles, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato.
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the beef layer: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread ground beef evenly to fit the pan, pressing down to make a uniform layer about ½ inch thick.
- Season and bake: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce over the beef. Bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through.
- Drain grease: Carefully remove the sheet pan and drain any excess fat.
- Add cheese: Lay cheese slices evenly over the cooked beef. Return to oven for 2–3 minutes until melted.
- Assemble sliders: Place the bottom half of slider buns on a clean sheet pan. Add the beef-and-cheese layer on top, then cover with the top buns.
- Brush and toast: Brush melted butter over the buns, sprinkle sesame seeds, and bake for 5 minutes until golden brown.
- Slice and serve: Cut into squares and serve hot!
How to Serve
Serve your Sheet Pan Burger Sliders warm straight from the oven! They pair perfectly with fries, onion rings, or a crisp salad. For parties, line them up on a tray with dipping sauces — ketchup, mayo, or barbecue sauce. These mini burgers are perfect for picnics, potlucks, and game day gatherings.
Tips for Perfect Sliders
- Use lean beef (80/20) for juicy, flavorful meat.
- Add diced onions or garlic for extra flavor.
- For a twist, swap beef for ground turkey or chicken.
- Toast the buns for 2 minutes before adding the beef to prevent sogginess.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to keep crisp.
