Cheeseburger sliders with Hawaiian Rolls have the juicy, cheesy, and beefy goodness of a classic burgers minus the hassle of making and flipping patties. Serve these at potlucks and gatherings or enjoy them on your own for a quick snack!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the burger sauce ingredients in a bowl.
In a skillet, add olive oil and warm over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes, until fragrant and browned. Then add ground beef and seasonings. Cook until beef is fully cooked.
Add mustard and Worcestershire sauce and mix together. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper, as desired.
Add the ground beef mixture to a bowl, removing any excess grease with a paper towel or drain.
Remove 1/4 cup of the burger sauce and add to the ground beef and mix together.
Make the butter topping by combing melted butter, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl.
Place the buns onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Cut the slider buns in half, lengthwise. Brush the inside of the buns with the butter mixture (reserving about 2 tbsps for the tops of the buns)
Place 4 slices of cheddar and 4 slices of American cheese on top of the buns. Add the ground beef mixture on top. Top with the remaining cheese and place the top of the buns on top.
Brush the tops of the buns with the remaining butter mixture.
Bake in the oven for 14-16 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and the tops are golden brown.
Notes
Remove excess fat and liquid from the beef before assembling the sliders to avoid getting the buns all soggy and wet. Using lean meat will also lessen the amount of fat released from the beef.
Layer the toppings evenly so that everyone gets the same amount of ground beef and cheese in their sliders.
Add a spicy kick to your baked cheeseburger slider by squeezing some sriracha or any hot sauce on top.
