1. Can I make cheeseburger sliders ahead of time?

Yes! You can cook the beef mixture a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Assemble and bake the sliders just before serving for best texture and flavor.

2. What type of rolls work best for these sliders?

Soft dinner rolls like King's Hawaiian work beautifully due to their slightly sweet flavor and fluffy texture. You can also use brioche or even homemade rolls—just make sure they’re slider-size.

3. Can I freeze cheeseburger sliders?

It's best to freeze the beef mixture separately, then assemble with fresh rolls before baking. Freezing the full assembled sliders can make the bread soggy as they thaw.

4. How do I know when the sliders are done baking?

The tops should be golden brown and slightly crisp, and the cheese should be fully melted. Bake for 12–15 minutes at 350°F, checking around the 12-minute mark.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes, breaking it up into small pieces.
Add sliced onion and sauté until tender, about 2–3 minutes.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Slice the dinner rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom halves on the lined baking sheet.
Evenly spread the beef mixture over the bottom buns, top with shredded cheese and optional pickles, then place the top halves of the rolls on top.
Brush the tops with melted butter and bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden and the cheese is melted.
Slice between the rolls and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge.
Reheat in an oven or air fryer to avoid soggy buns.
Freeze only the meat mixture for later use to maintain bread texture.
Add sesame seeds on top before baking for a classic burger look.
