Beef Sliders
I love making sliders with Hawaiian rolls, and these cheeseburger sliders sit at the top of my favorites list. My family goes wild for these - I get asked for them just about every time I pick up a package of Hawaiian rolls! And the best part about them (aside from how tasty they are, of course) is how easy they are to make.
These cheeseburger sliders on Hawaiian rolls are so simple, you can bake them right in the package they come in for easy cleanup. No need for dirtying a baking dish. The prep is simple, too; all you have to do is cook the beef (and bacon if you're using it), assemble the sliders, and bake.
You get all the flavors you love from a classic cheeseburger in this easy sliders recipe. Give them a try, and I just know your family and friends will be asking for the recipe... it's that good!
These were the perfect snack for my football party. I made them the night before and they were amazing.

Hamburger Sliders Recipe
- Preheat your oven to 350° F. Add ground beef to a large skillet and begin to brown.
- Season ground beef with salt and onion powder. After it cooks through, drain the grease from your ground beef and set the beef aside.
- Split Hawaiian rolls in half. Set the tops aside. Place the bottom half of the rolls back into the container they came packaged in.
- Place a slice of American cheese on each bottom roll.
- Then, spread the beef over the cheese.
- Top with another slice of cheese.
- Break up the cooked bacon into pieces and add a piece to each roll.
- Add pickle slices.
- Drizzle the top with ketchup and mustard.
- Add the tops of the rolls.
- Cover the container the sliders are sitting in with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and brush with melted butter mixed with garlic powder.
- Bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese melts completely. Serve and enjoy!
Mini cheeseburgers sliders make one of the best kid-friendly dinner ideas. They are perfect as an after-school snack or lunchtime treat, and are the best food for a sleepover or birthday party! Try dipping them in Burger Sauce.
Ground Beef Cooking Tips
- Cook ground beef over medium heat.
- Let it sit in the pan and sear first for a bit before you start to break it up.
- When you do start breaking the beef up, do it gradually.
- Avoid moving the beef around in the pan too much. This will stop it from browning. The more you let it sit untouched, the better the browning will be.
Cheeseburger Sliders Recipes with Hawaiian Rolls Tips
- Use my Burger Seasoning on this recipe. It is amazing!
- Bake the bacon cheeseburger sliders right in the packaging for easy clean-up. It's true, you don't need an extra baking dish to make these easy Hawaiian roll sliders! Bake your mini bacon cheeseburgers right in the packaging the rolls come in. This will save you so much clean-up.
- A 9x13" baking dish will also do the trick if.
- You can easily size this recipe up to feed more people for a larger party or if you want leftovers. Use a 24-pack of rolls and double your other ingredients.
How to Bake Bacon in the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (make sure you turn it down to 350 when you make your sliders if you're making everything in one night!).
- Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Then, place a cookie cooling rack in the large baking sheet.
- Arrange bacon slices across the cookie rack in one layer. Don't overlap any of the bacon. Season the bacon with pepper - that's it!
- Bake bacon until the bacon browns and crisps up. 15 minutes will give you bacon with a little chew, and 20 will make very crispy bacon (perfect for these cheeseburger sliders!).
Many times I also make air fryer bacon. It is a great addition to this already delicious cheeseburger recipe.
Make-ahead Hawaiian Rolls Sliders Instructions
- Prepare any sauces or condiments you want to use. If you're using a mix of ketchup and mayo, mix and store it in an air-tight container like Tupperware or a jar until ready to use.
- Cook and break up the bacon. Store in an air-tight container lined with a paper towel in the refrigerator. Cooked bacon is good for about 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
- Cook the ground beef mixture. Ground beef is good for about 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
- Assemble and bake as instructed, wrapped in foil, on the day you're ready to serve them.
Cheeseburger sliders are good for 3-4 days when refrigerated. However, they're best eaten within the same day. Since they're so easy to make, I recommend making them on the same day as any party you're planning.
Air Fryer Sliders Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
- Assemble sliders as instructed according to oven recipe instructions.
- Wrap the package of sliders in aluminum foil and air fry for 8 minutes. Remove and brush sliders with garlic butter as instructed.
If the original packaging for the rolls will not fit in your air fryer, wrap sliders in foil outside of the package and bake them on your air fryer tray.

Slider Recipes FAQs
You can bake Hawaiian roll sliders in the container they come packaged in as long as the oven temperature does not exceed 350°F.
If you're taking burger sliders to a party and want to keep them warm or want to keep them warm on the table, keep them in the package wrapped in aluminum foil. This will keep the sliders warm and you can store them this way, too.
Because we use two slices of cheese on the top and bottom bun, and drain the beef before using it, there is no chance these mini burgers will get soggy. This means they are perfect for making ahead of time for a get-together.
1 pound of beef is enough for all 12 sliders in the package. To make a larger batch, use 1 pound for every 12 sliders.
