- Deluxe – Add sautéed onions or mushrooms to the beef mixture for added depth of flavor.
- Sauce – Spread a layer of mayo, mustard, or your favorite sauce inside the buns before baking.
- Spicy – Top the cheese with pickles or jalapeños for an extra kick.
Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
Storage
To store, place any leftover sliders in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in a warm oven (around 350°F) for 5-7 minutes or until heated through, or microwave for about 30 seconds.
Top Tip
For a fun party idea, prepare the cheeseburger sliders in advance and refrigerate them. When it’s time to serve, pop them in the oven for a few minutes to warm them up, making them a convenient and delicious option for entertaining!
