Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Sliders Recipe Ingredients
- 1 (16-oz.) package dinner rolls
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1/2 yellow onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 1/4 lb. ground sirloin (90/10)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp. ketchup
- 1 Tbsp. mustard
- 8 oz. shredded cheddar-jack cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup dill pickle slices
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. everything bagel seasoning
How To Make Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Sliders
- Toast the rolls: Preheat your broiler. Without separating the individual rolls, use a long serrated knife to slice the entire slab of rolls in half horizontally. Place both the top and bottom slabs cut-side up on a baking sheet. Broil for about 2 minutes, until lightly toasted. Set aside.
- Cook the meat mixture: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3 minutes until slightly softened. Add the ground sirloin and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
- Season the meat: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well and continue to cook until the beef is browned and the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Assemble the sliders: Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Spread this sauce on the cut sides of both the top and bottom slabs of rolls. On the bottom slab, sprinkle half of the shredded cheese. Top evenly with the meat mixture, then the remaining cheese, and finally the dill pickle slices. Place the top slab of rolls on top.
- Top and bake: Brush the tops of the rolls all over with olive oil and sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve: Let the sliders rest for a minute, then use a knife to cut them apart into individual sliders. Serve warm.
Recipe Tips
- How to prevent soggy sliders: Toasting the inside of the rolls under the broiler before assembling is a key step. It creates a barrier that helps prevent the sauce and meat juices from making the bread soggy.
- Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, you can fully assemble the sliders (without the final olive oil and seasoning topping) a few hours ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate. When ready to serve, add the topping and bake as directed, possibly adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
- What kind of cheese is best? The recipe calls for cheddar-jack, which melts beautifully. However, American cheese is a classic choice for its supreme meltiness, and sharp cheddar also works well.
- What if I don’t have dinner rolls? Sweet Hawaiian rolls are a fantastic and very popular substitute. The slight sweetness provides a delicious contrast to the savory beef and tangy pickles.
What To Serve With Cheeseburger Sliders
These sliders are a crowd-pleasing main event. Serve them with classic cookout sides like:
- Crispy french fries or tater tots
- A simple, creamy coleslaw
- Potato chips and onion dip
- A fresh garden salad with a light vinaigrette
How To Store Cheeseburger Sliders
Refrigerate: Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat: For best results, reheat the sliders in a 350°F oven or a toaster oven until warmed through. Microwaving can make the bread soft.

FAQs
Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?
Yes, you can substitute ground turkey or ground chicken. Since poultry is leaner, you may want to add a little extra oil to the pan when cooking the onion to prevent sticking.
Why are my sliders greasy?
This can happen if you use a higher-fat ground beef. Using a leaner blend like 90/10 sirloin, as called for in the recipe, minimizes excess grease. If you use an 80/20 blend, be sure to drain any excess fat from the skillet after browning the meat.
What other toppings can I add?
Feel free to customize! You can add cooked, crumbled bacon over the meat mixture, or layer in some sautéed mushrooms or thinly sliced jalapeños for a kick.
