Oven Baked Sliders (Cheeseburger)
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.
Try our Roast Beef Sliders!
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.
Check out our Strawberry Shortcake!
Slice the dinner rolls with a serrated knife and place it on top of the cheese. Bake another 3 – 5 minutes.
Remove them from the oven. Slice the meat for each individual slider, using a spatula place a slider on each bottom bun.
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.

Miz Helen
Thank you!
Thank you soooo much for this post. Perfect new year eve treat, while prepping Hoppin John for tomorrow!
Thanks for coming by and telling me Cate! I hope you have a great New Year!
I try a lot of ‘internet recipes’ but this is the first time I ever felt compelled to comment. Wife forwarded it to me and made these tonight, they’re excellent, fun and easy to make! So many good reasons and occasions to make them…thanks!!
You don’t say when you put the bottom buns on or I just plain missed it
Hi, Margaret. Sorry about that, it’s in the recipe card at the bottom of the page. I added it in the body of the post too! Thank you
Making these for Falcon Play off game
Lynn, I hope you enjoy! Have a blessed day!
These 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.
Hi, 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! 🙂
I think paper towel on bottom but I prefer my bun a lil moist and lots of onions I layer whole bottom with onion and make a teepee to steam bottom bun a tad soggy 🤤🤤🤤
Wow! 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!
Thanks John, glad you enjoyed them!!
This is amazing and you’re a genius. Utterly amazing. Thank you! I’ll make it for the hubby while he watches his stupid racing this Sunday!
LOL I hope your husband enjoyed the sliders while he watched his “stupid” racing. 😉
If I want to reduce this to 1 lb. Of meat, do I need to reduce the bake time?
Yes, Jill I would reduce the baking time maybe to 10 minutes and just check the doneness. But make sure the onions are soft.
OMG! 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!!
Wow, Heather that’s a lot of sliders! 🙂 I’m so glad you all enjoyed the recipe.
Delicious just made this, we didn’t add the extra onion on top and was still really good ! Reminded us of White Castle ! Thx for the recipe !
Hi, Jen! So happy to hear you liked the recipe, thank you so much for coming by!
I 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

Thanks for the heads-up Chris. We’ll check it out. Unfortunately, this is becoming more frequent. We certainly appreciate it!
These were a hit with my family of 5! Easy to follow instructions, too! Thanks! 🙂
That’s awesome! Great to hear! Thanks Janet!
We 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!
I modify this recipe for my larger family and their tastes. But ALWAYS use this as a base.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
First 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.
these 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!!
Amazing made them burger size😊
I made these a few months ago and meant to comment then and just forgot.
These have become a staple! So easy and so good!
My three year old regularly asks for tiny hamburgers. My parents get excited when they are actually home to have them fresh. My partner’s colleagues are jealous when he brings them in for lunch.
I don’t put the bun in the oven with the sliders as I use homemade brioche buns that are still warm.
Easiest and best slider recipe I’ve tried. Will definitely be a party staple.
Actually have it in the oven right now.
My Boss brought them in for supper
Cool. Hope you liked em! 🙂
Simple and Tasty. Perfect a quick something on a Saturrday night!
Thanks, Chrissy!
Tripled the recipe and made it for a family party last weekend. Just sent this web site to those requesting the recipe. The sliders were a great success. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Heather!
