How to Make Baked Cheeseburger Sliders

The steps to make these baked sliders are very easy and straightforward. With just a few easy actions, you can have a delicious dish ready to serve in no time. Follow these simple steps:

Preheat:

Preheat the Oven to 350°F.

Cook the Beef Mixture:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until it softens, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Season with seasoned salt and pepper.
Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce, cooking until well combined and heated through.

Prepare the Rolls:

Using a serrated bread knife, slice all 12 rolls in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom half for each roll. Keep the rolls connected in a single slab.
Place the bottom halves of the rolls in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Assemble the Sliders:

Layer half of the cheese slices evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls.
Spread the beef mixture evenly over the cheese.
Top with the remaining cheese slices.

Prepare the Spread:

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard.
Spread this mixture evenly over the cut side of the top halves of the rolls.

Finish Assembling:

Place the top halves of the rolls over the beef and cheese layer in the baking dish. Brush top with melted butter and sprinkle with more seasoned salt (or everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds).

Bake:

Cover tightly with foil and bake 20 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and buns are golden brown. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
