Delicious and easy to make sliders are perfect for your next game day or party. Also, simple and fast enough to make for a weeknight dinner. Get tasty sliders without having to turn on your grill.
Gone are the days of having to flip twelve individual mini hamburger patties. Now you can get crowd pleasing sliders done in minutes just by baking the patty in a 9 x 13 baking dish or quarter sheet pan ahead of time.
How to Make Single Patty Cheeseburger Sliders
Guaranteed that once you make sliders this way, you’ll never go back! So easy and less mess, this simple recipe comes together in minutes and tastes so amazing.
Firstly, prepare the hamburger meat. Combine all of the hamburger ingredients in a bowl and press into a 9 x 13 baking pan or half quarter sheet pan. For this recipe, I used 88/12 lean ground beef, but you could substitute whatever ground you prefer.
Bake the meat until desired doneness is reached. Know that the burgers will go back in the oven when assembled to cook longer. Once the meat is cooked, drain the excess oil and set aside while you assemble the sliders.
You can customize the sliders how you like. For this recipe, I used sliced cheddar cheese, yellow mustard, and spicy pickles.
Start by cutting the rolls in half lengthwise using a serrated knife. Place in a 9 x 13 baking pan. Spread the mustard on the bottom half of the rolls.
Using two large spatulas, carefully place the baked meat patty on top of the rolls. Add on the pickles and cheese.
Position the pickles so that they lie on top of the individual slider buns.
Lay the top layer of buns on top of the cheese. It’s fine if cheese and patty hang over the buns.
Butter Sesame Topping
Lastly, make the butter glaze to top the Easy Baked Cheeseburger Sliders. To do this, mix together the melted butter, sesame seeds, and garlic powder. Use a pastry brush to brush all over the tops of the buns.
Bake until the tops of the sliders are golden and the cheese is melted and gooey. Let sit for a minute, then use a serrated knife to slice into individual sliders. Serve immediately.

This is such a great idea! My family really loved it!
So happy they loved it!
These remind me of Crystal Burgers! I haven’t tried the recipe yet but to look at them you could almost call them Copycat Crystal Burgers! My son loves that place so I am putting these on my list to make ASAP!! I bet your recipe gives that restaurant a run for their money!!!
I’ve never tried Crystal Burgers, but I think I’ll have to now! Glad you loved the recipe.
Best sliders and so easy to make! We love them!
Yay! So happy you loved them. Thanks for the comment 🙂
Is there any way to store these?
If you’re looking to make them ahead, they are really best fresh. However, I have reheated them the next day and they are still delicious!
These made me famous at our baseball tournament this weekend! I cooked the meat the night before and warmed the meat in the morning and then finished the process with the buns etc. I cooked meat initially for 15min and in the morning with the cheese and buns an additional 10-15 minutes. Fabulous! Will definitely make these again!
So happy you loved them! Thanks for the make-ahead tips too! 🙂
