    Cheeseburger Sliders are mini burgers stuffed with cheddar cheese, spread with burger sauce, and oven-baked. The perfect party food for summer cookouts or celebrations like birthdays and graduation.

    Juicy burgers are about as All-American as it gets. Easy hamburger sliders are great to serve a hungry crowd for a party or game-day food but will work for the whole family as an easy meal.

    So much to love about these fun little cheeseburgers. They can work for a family dinner or patriotic holidays like July 4th and the burger sauce is delicious...

    How To Make Cheeseburger Sliders

    There are endless ways to make homemade sliders, but a fun way to make these is to line a baking sheet (or a 13-inch baking dish) which helps prep and clean up go so fast to make the hamburgers.

    Kids can help make these individual burgers. Have them help with clean hands to form the individual patties with a little piece of cheese stuffed inside each one.

    The best thing is, you can bake these classic cheeseburger sliders in the oven, and you won't have to fire up the grill!
