HELLOOOO CHEESY GOODNESS! These cheesy hamburger sliders come together so effortlessly and are sure to please a crowd. Ground beef, chopped onions, a squeeze of ketchup and mustard, all topped with sharp cheddar cheese, all come together for a tasty weeknight dinner. Trust me you’re going to want to try these.

One time, in college, I flew to Iowa to visit my roommate over a summer break. While we were there, we paid a visit to a restaurant that made burgers with chopped meat. I honestly had never heard of it before. Steak burgers? Sure! But this? It seemed so different from anything I would have considered to be a burger.

Oh, how I was wrong…they were so so sooooooo good. This would eventually give birth to this recipe. I scaled it down to sliders and added sweet hawaiian rolls because they’re always a wise decision.

Also, in the spirit of full transparency, this recipe is arguably my preteen daughter’s favorite. A direct quote from said preteen daughter, “I mean it’s up there…that and your mac and cheese“. Isn’t it the best when you can make something they love? 🙂

Swaps and Add-On’s:

One of the best parts about this recipe is it’s incredibly flexible. Here are some of my favorite add-ons/swaps:

  • Swap out your protein for ground turkey, chicken, or pork. Be sure to adjust your seasoning accordingly.
  • Get crazy and change the cheese to a nice swiss or colby jack.
  • Add pickles (doesn’t fly in my house..apologies to my hubby) or jalapenos…
  • Onion or potato rolls are delicious here.

Tips:
  • While I enjoy using an 80/20 ground beef blend for a burger, I tend to use something a little leaner here. Since we’re browning off the meat, we don’t want anything too greasy.
  • I love onions, but my husband will only eat them if they’re cooked thoroughly. I made sure to sweat down the onions as much as possible. If you like the crunch of raw onions, you can cook them less.
  • If the rolls start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil until the sliders are done. 
  • Make sure that your slider filling is not too wet. The last thing you want is a soggy bottom. ← could not type this without laughing…you’re welcome.
