Baked Cheeseburger Sliders Recipe (2024)

Our baked cheeseburger sliders are some of the cutest and most delicious burgers I’ve ever seen. They are extremely fun and a versatile meal everyone will love!

Baked cheeseburger sliders is an easy family dinner recipe that even the kids will love! My kids always love anything on Hawaiian rolls and this recipe is no exception!

These baked cheeseburgers can be either for dinner or a fun appetizer for your next party or potluck! Plus you can make this all at once by learning how to cook sliders in the oven. You don’t have to build each individual burger.

I make this as a ground beef recipe, but you can also change that to ground turkey or ground chicken if that better suits your diet, however it will change the taste slightly.

To round out this delicious slider entre, try serving our Instant Pot Green Beans, Berry Cheesecake Fruit Salad, and you cannot forget to make our amazing Baked Seasoned Steak Fries Recipe, it’s so tasty!

Ingredients Needed For This Baked Cheeseburger Sliders Recipe:

Ground beef
Diced onion
Barbecue sauce
Breadcrumbs
Seasoned salt
Pepper
Cheddar cheese slices
Hawaiian rolls
Dill pickle slices
Ketchup
Mustard
Tomato slices
Lettuce

How To Make This Baked Cheeseburger Sliders Recipe:

Begin by preheating the oven to 400 degrees.

Then in a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, barbecue sauce, bread crumbs, seasoned salt, and pepper to taste.

When that is all mixed together, press the beef mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to make one large patty. Try and get the meat as even as possible to ensure even cooking of the meat.

Then use the tines (pokey part) of a fork to poke holes through the meat to allow a little airflow.

Now place the 9×13 inch dish in the oven and bake it for 30 minutes or until the hamburger meat is cooked through.

After the hamburger is fully cooked you will notice that the meat will shrink away from the side of the pan and the fat from the meat will accumulate around the edges of the pan, and this is normal!

Carefully remove the pan from the oven and gently drain the liquid from the pan.

Then, place the slices of cheese in a single layer over top of the hamburger and put the pan back in the oven and allow the cheese to melt for 2-3 minutes.

After the cheese has begun to melt, pull the pan from the oven and let it rest for a couple minutes.

Then, begin cutting the meat into 2 inch squares (or the size of the bun you are using), making 12 mini hamburgers.

Now just place the burgers on the mini Hawaiian buns and top it with your favorite burger toppings.

Baking hamburger meat and then cutting them up is one of those I ideas that is so easy and obvious I wish I had thought of it, myself. I tried them this evening. They were fantastic. My husband thought I was a genius, but I gave credit to you guys. I will definitely make these all the time. There are so many times I want to make hamburgers but don't want to fry them or go to the trouble to start up the grill. What a great idea for kids, too. Thanks.
Leslie says:

I've made burgers/sandwiches this way, and they're awesome for a crowd. This would be a fantastic recipe for a big July 4th BBQ!
Kari says:

I am not a huge fan of BBQ sauce (neither is my family). Do these have a barbecue sauce taste after cooking? If so, any suggestions for omitting or replacing it? Thanks! Looks like a great recipe! (Apart from the bbq sauce 😉)
Momma Cyd says:

That 1/2 cup of bbq sauce to 2 pounds of ground beef is not going to do anything but add a little boost of flavor and help your cheeseburgers from drying out. You'll be fine.
