How Much Beef Is in a Slider
Will Dickey
Overwhelmed by the idea of flipping more than a dozen mini burger patties on the grill? Fear not! This recipe has a simple trick to make cooking cheeseburger sliders even easier. It's perfect for feeding a crowd—whether it's a backyard summer gathering or Super Bowl viewing party. You won't even need to spend time forming individual patties or standing over a sweltering grill. Instead, the ground meat is cooked on the stovetop and layered onto small dinner rolls—it's just like sloppy joes, but with all the flavors of your favorite cheeseburger recipe. They're juicy, cheesy, appetizer-sized burgers that we believe taste even better when piled high with pickles. But if you're looking to put your own spin on these best cheeseburger sliders, it couldn't be easier.
Variations on cheeseburger sliders:
These sliders are made with seasoned ground beef, cheddar-jack cheese, and pickles all layered onto everything bagel-seasoned dinner rolls. But you can switch things up based on your family's preferences. Try slider buns topped with sesame seeds instead of everything seasoning or sub the cheddar for slices of American cheese, or any melty cheese you choose. For the toppings, it all comes down to taste. Not a fan of pickles? Top with diced tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, or pickled jalapeños instead. Looking to take these sliders over the top? Add crisp, crumbled bacon, onion strings, or your favorite fry sauce. The options are endless!
What makes a burger a slider?
If you want to turn a classic burger into a slider, all you need to do is make a smaller portion size. Some theories suggest that the term slider originated in the 1940s when sailors in the U.S. Navy suggested their greasiness caused them to slide down easily. Others say it was fast food chain White Castle that first began referring to their small, steamed burgers as sliders. No matter where the term came from, these days, sliders can be any mini-sized sandwich, from classic cheeseburger sliders to other creative party foods, like grilled chicken sliders, BBQ sliders, and mini meatball sliders.
What size are hamburger sliders?
This all depends on the size of your roll! Our recipe is just over a pound of ground beef (1.25 pounds to be exact) and it will make 12 sliders. Plan on using about 1.5 to 2 ounces of meat per slider if you have a pound of meat.
How many sliders are needed per person?
The more, the merrier! Determining how many sliders to make per person is a common conundrum that depends on your family's appetite. This recipe serves a crowd, so it's perfect for serving as an appetizer at parties, but you can also plate up 2 to 3 sliders per person with a side salad for a fun weeknight dinner.

- Preheat the broiler. Remove the rolls from the packaging in one piece. With a serrated knife cut crosswise through the all of the rolls at once, to divide the top half from the bottom (keeping the sides of the rolls intact). Place both halves cut-side up on a sheet tray and broil for 2 minutes until lightly toasted. (If using slider rolls, separate the tops from the bottoms and place cut side up on the sheet tray, sides touching; broil as instructed). Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes until just slightly softened. Add the ground sirloin and cook, breaking up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper, and stir well to combine. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the liquid from the pan has almost fully evaporated, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Preheat the oven to 375˚. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard.
- Spread the cut sides of the rolls with the mayonnaise mixture, then sprinkle with half of the cheese in an even layer. Layer the meat mixture over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese and the pickles. Cover with the top half of the rolls.
- Brush the tops of the rolls all over with olive oil and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is melty and the tops of the rolls are golden and toasted. Pull sliders apart and serve warm.
If you don't have everything bagel seasoning, use sesame seeds instead or mix 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt into the olive oil before brushing on the rolls.
