Ingredients

For the Sliders:

  • 12 slider buns such as brioche buns or Hawaiian rolls
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • ¼ cup Special sauce (recipe below)
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup freshly grated colby jack cheese

For the Special Sauce:

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

For the Sliders:

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • Slice the entire slab of slider rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom of the rolls on a baking sheet.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break up with the bottom of a wooden spoon, crisping up until browned. Stir in the seasonings and let cook for about 8-10 minutes until crispy. Remove from the heat.
  • Place the sliced sharp cheddar on the bottom layer of the slider buns and then carefully transfer the ground beef mixture on top of the cheese. Drizzle the house sauce on top of the beef and then sprinkle with the shredded cheese. Top with the top slab of slider buns. Brush with a touch of olive oil.
  • Transfer the baking dish with the sliders into the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately alongside ketchup, mustard, relish etc.

For the Special Sauce:

  • Whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

  • I like to line the bottom slider buns with a slice of cheese. This locks in any juices so they don't soak the bun as it bakes preventing soggy Cheeseburger Sliders.
  • Bake the sliders uncovered. If you cover them with foil they will steam instead of getting nice and toasty.
  • Make the house sauce up to 3 days ahead of time. Keep refrigerated in an air-tight container until ready to use.
