How To Make Cheeseburger Sliders:
- Heat oven to 400℉.
- In a bowl, combine beef, onion, bbq sauce, bread crumbs, seasoned salt and pepper. Gently press mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish so that it makes one large patty of even thickness. Use the tines of a fork to poke holes throughout the meat.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- When the hamburger is fully cooked, the meat will shrink away from the sides and liquid will accumulate around the edges of the pan.
- Remove the pan from the oven and carefully drain off the liquid from the pan.
- Place slices of cheese in a single layer on top of the meat and return pan to oven for about 2-3 minutes or until the cheese starts to melt.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes. cut the meat into 2 inch squares (or the size of the rolls used), making 12 mini hamburgers.
- Serve with dill pickles, ketchup, mustard, tomatoes, and lettuce.

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
Baking hamburger meat and then cutting them up is one of those I ideas that is so easy and obvious I wish I had thought of it, myself. I tried them this evening. They were fantastic. My husband thought I was a genius, but I gave credit to you guys. I will definitely make these all the time. There are so many times I want to make hamburgers but don’t want to fry them or go to the trouble to start up the grill. What a great idea for kids, too. Thanks.
I’ve made burgers/sandwiches this way, and they’re awesome for a crowd. This would be a fantastic recipe for a big July 4th BBQ!
I am not a huge fan of BBQ sauce (neither is my family). Do these have a barbecue sauce taste after cooking? If so, any suggestions for omitting or replacing it? Thanks! Looks like a great recipe! (Apart from the bbq sauce 😉)
That 1/2 cup of bbq sauce to 2 pounds of ground beef is not going to do anything but add a little boost of flavor and help your cheeseburgers from drying out. You’ll be fine.
What kind of ground beef did you use? 80/20, 93/7, 85/15 etc?
We typically like to use an 85/15 ground beef.
