The BEST Cheeseburger Sliders

Cheeseburgers are a beloved classic, but when you shrink them down into Cheeseburger Sliders, you get bite-sized perfection that’s ideal for parties, game nights, family dinners, and casual get-togethers. These mini burgers pack all the juicy flavor and cheesy goodness of a full-size burger, but they’re even more fun to eat. With soft, buttery buns, perfectly seasoned beef, melted cheddar, and all your favorite toppings, it’s no wonder these sliders are hailed as The BEST. 😍🍔🧈

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef 🍖
  • 12 slider buns 🧈
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese, halved 🧀
  • 1 small onion, finely diced 🧅
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste 🧂

Instructions

1. Form and Season Patties
Divide the ground beef into 12 equal portions and shape into small patties. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
