These mini cheeseburger sliders are quick, easy, and perfect for graduation parties or any casual gathering. They feature juicy seasoned beef patties with melted cheddar cheese on soft slider buns, customizable with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef, 80/20 for best juiciness
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 mini slider buns or dinner rolls, soft and fresh
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese, halved
  • 12 small dill pickle slices
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce, rinsed and dried
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional)
  • Yellow mustard or ketchup for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions (about 1.5 oz each). Roll each portion into a ball then flatten into a thin, round patty slightly larger than your slider buns.
  3. Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat, lightly greasing with oil or non-stick spray.
  4. Place patties on the skillet without crowding. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on the first side until browned and edges start to crisp.
  5. Flip the patties carefully, then immediately place half slices of cheddar on top. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and cook for 1-2 minutes until cheese melts.
  6. While patties cook, slice slider buns in half and toast them lightly in a separate pan or oven at 350°F for 3-4 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
  7. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom buns, place cheesy patties on top, add a pickle slice, shredded lettuce, and a thin tomato slice. Finish with the top bun.
  8. Serve immediately with ketchup and mustard on the side.

Notes

Do not overmix the beef to keep patties juicy. Use a hot pan for a good sear. Add cheese after flipping and cover to melt perfectly. Toast buns separately to avoid sogginess. Patties can be kept warm in a 200°F oven if made ahead.
