Description
These Sheetpan Burger Sliders are an easy and delicious way to make multiple classic cheeseburgers at once. Ground beef mixed with onion, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce is baked in a single layer on a sheetpan, then topped with melted cheddar cheese. Served on slider buns with a tangy mayonnaise-ketchup sauce, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles, these sliders come together quickly and are perfect for casual gatherings or family meals.
Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Slider Assembly
- 12 slider buns
- 12 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- Shredded lettuce
- Sliced tomatoes
- Sliced pickles
- Vegetable oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Sheetpan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheetpan with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Beef Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly but avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
- Spread Beef on Sheetpan: Evenly spread the beef mixture onto the prepared sheetpan, pressing it into a flat, even layer to ensure uniform cooking.
- Bake the Beef: Place the sheetpan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C), indicating the beef is fully cooked.
- Prepare Slider Sauce: While the beef bakes, mix the mayonnaise and ketchup in a small bowl to create the flavorful slider sauce.
- Drain Excess Grease: Once the beef is cooked, carefully remove the sheetpan from the oven and drain off any excess grease to keep the sliders from being oily.
- Add Cheese and Melt: Arrange cheddar cheese slices evenly over the cooked beef, then return the sheetpan to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts and is bubbly.
- Rest and Portion: Remove the sheetpan from the oven and let the beef and cheese rest for a few minutes. Then, cut the mixture into 12 equal pieces, sized to match the slider buns.
- Assemble Sliders: Place each beef and cheese piece onto a slider bun. Top with a dollop of the prepared slider sauce, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and pickles to complete each slider.
- Serve: Serve the sliders immediately while warm and enjoy a delicious, hassle-free burger experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the beef mixture to keep sliders tender and juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the beef reaches 160°F (70°C) for safe consumption.
- If you prefer, swap cheddar cheese for your favorite type of cheese.
- These sliders can be customized with additional toppings like onions or bacon.
- For crispier edges, broil the sliders for the last minute of cooking instead of just melting the cheese.
- Leftover sliders can be refrigerated and reheated gently in an oven or microwave.
