Cheeseburger Sliders Recipe
Cheeseburger sliders are the perfect party food, and they make a fantastic snack for a family game or movie night. And with minimal chopping or dicing, they're easy enough for a weeknight meal. Sliders are always a hit, whether for a graduation celebration, potluck dinner, or a game day party!
These sliders are versatile as well. Add extra cheese for double cheeseburger sliders or make bacon cheeseburger sliders with the addition of cooked crumbled bacon. And you don't have to use ground beef. You can make these sliders with ground turkey, chicken, or sausage—you could even make them vegetarian-friendly with a meat-free alternative.
If you're serving cheeseburger sliders as part of a meal, add a side of fries, roasted potatoes, potato chips, or coleslaw. Or serve the sliders with a cup of soup or tossed salad for a satisfying lunch.
