What Makes These Cheeseburger Sliders so Different

These aren't your typical cheeseburger sliders. 

They offer such a unique flavor palette - the sweetness from the bun, cheesy and butter interior, the meat has a soft yet crunchy texture, and the Everything but the Bagel seasoning has a salty, nutty, and toasty flavor.

They are super fun to make, easy, perfect for busy weekdays with kids, or just a simple snack before dinner. You will be wanting seconds. And thirds. 

What Inspired This Recipe

I actually found this one through XOXO Bella although it was sent to me from my sister. She sent me the recipe because she made it for my nieces birthday. 

Customizations

Feel free to make this recipe your own. I cooked the top bun and bottom buns separately so we could customize them and add the toppings on after. 

 Here is how we customized ours:
✓ We did not use bacon
✓ We did not use salt
✓ We used shredded cheese in place of sliced cheese
✓ We did not use Colby Jack cheese

      How to Make Mini Cheeseburger Sliders

      ✓ Step #1: Make the ground beef mixture - In a large pan, add the beef, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, ground mustard and pepper. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, 5-7 minutes, stirring often. 

      ✓ Step #2: Add Hawaiian rolls to a pan - Cut the rolls in half, lengthwise. Add the top buns to one half of the pan and the bottom buns to the other half. Add the ground beef and some cheddar cheese on top of the bottom buns.

      ✓  Step #4: Bake: In the toaster oven, set the oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes - keep an eye on it as it can burn quickly. Remove from the oven once the buns are crispy and the cheese is melted. 

      ✓  Step #5: Make the sauce: In a bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients and stir. Keep in the fridge until the sliders are out of the oven. Add sauce to bottom sliders. 

      ✓  Step #6: Assemble your sliders: When the sliders are done, add your toppings and the Big Mac-style sauce to the bottom buns. Add the top bun on top.

      ✓  Step #7: Serve immediately: Enjoy with French fries, a side salad, or Sweet Potato Fries.

      How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

      These taste best when eaten immediately but if you would like to store, store in an airtight container with just the meat and cheese, re-heat in the oven and then top with your favorite toppings.

Homemade Hamburger Helper Recipe Kevin (my fiancé) loves homemade hamburger helper and this recipe tasted way better than any boxed hamburger helper out there. Hamburger helper is nostalgic for me though. Growing up in the 90's, I do remember having it every once in awhile. Homemade is always a better choice, though.
