Here in the south, we have a fast-food restaurant called Krystal’s. They are very similar to the popular White Castle hamburgers.
We duplicated these little burgers at home. They are the perfect finger food for a party or just a movie night at home.
Oven Baked Sliders
Mix the ground beef with the onion soup mix. Spread it as thin or thick as you prefer. We chose to make ours a little thicker than Krystal’s hamburgers. Spread the diced onions evenly on top of the meat.
Bake for about 15 minutes. (depending on the thickness)
Remove from the oven and place cheese slices on top. Put back in for 3 – 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Slice the dinner rolls with a serrated knife and place it on top of the cheese. Bake another 3 – 5 minutes.
It works best to slice with a large pizza cutter. Use a spatula to remove from the pan and place it on the bottom bun. Serve.
Try our Roast Beef Sliders with Horseradish Sauce, Pastrami and Swiss Cheese Sliders!
Oven Baked Sliders
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground Beef
- 1 package dry Onion soup mix
- 1 small Onion, finely diced
- 12 dinner rolls Any small dinner roll, sliced in half
- 6 slices American Cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix the hamburger and onion soup mix.
- Spread the meat mixture on a rimmed cookie sheet.
- Press the meat with your fingers to smooth it out in the pan.
- Sprinkle the onions evenly over the meat.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. (The meat will shrink)
- Remove the pan from oven and layer the meat with the cheese slices.
- Bake another 3 – 5 minutes (until cheese is melted).
- Then add the tops of your rolls and place back in the oven for about 3 – 5 more minutes to warm the buns.
- Take it out of the oven. Slice the meat with a pizza cutter and pick up the slider/top bun with a spatula and set it on the bottom bun.

January 24, 2017These look delicious! I’ve planned on making these for the Superbowl. I do have a question though. Do they still taste good if they’re kept warm in a sterno? I’m a little worried about them drying out or the bread getting soggy. I figure they will be okay, because krystals warm up well. I just wanted to make sure.
DSTR
January 24, 2017Hi, Terrance! I can’t really answer to how they will hold up in a Sterno. You could try placing a layer of paper towels to reduce condensation. I don’t think they will dry out. One recipe usually makes enough for us to have leftovers and they reheat beautifully. Thank you for coming by! 🙂

February 5, 2017Wow! Thanks so much! Just like being back in Atlanta at Krystal’s! My wife and I have tried the frozen types (White Castle) but your recipe is the real deal!

Jill
March 26, 2017If I want to reduce this to 1 lb. Of meat, do I need to reduce the bake time?
DSTR
March 27, 2017Yes, Jill I would reduce the baking time maybe to 10 minutes and just check the doneness. But make sure the onions are soft.
Heather
April 22, 2017OMG! Amazeballs!!! Made these for High School Baseball Team Dinner Friday night after practice. Boys devoured them!! I made 72 Sliders with 12lbs ground beef and we could’ve used about 2 dozen more, boy oh boy can those boys eat!! I omitted finely chopped onions, not knowing if boys would like the onions, but still used the onion soup mix for flavoring and added some salt. I also used Brioche Slider buns. This was the most straight forward recipe I found online. Thanks a million!!
DSTR
April 24, 2017Wow, Heather that’s a lot of sliders! 🙂 I’m so glad you all enjoyed the recipe.

July 28, 2018I know it’s none of my business but there’s this BBQ restaurant that is using the photos of the sliders and posting them to Facebook as if they are theirs. It didn’t seem right and I thought you should at least know about it. This is that post

January 4, 2019We skip the extra onion (toddlers) and do 1 lb of beef for our family of 4. A go-to for weeknight meal rotation. Thank you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

February 5, 2020First time making sliders in the oven and I have to say that there is no way that I am going back to pan frying. I did not follow the ingredient directions to the T but these where amazing to say the least.

April 27, 2020these came out great, delicious and easy. I halved the recipe and it made 12 sliders but i didnt see the part about shortening the time and they still came out perfect. Thanks so much!!
