Can you cook burgers on a baking sheet?

Yes, you definitely can! Cooking burgers on a baking sheet is a great way to get evenly cooked, juicy patties without the mess of grilling or frying. Just make sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup and keep an eye on the internal temperature to get them just right.

How long to cook beef sliders in the oven?

For perfectly cooked Sheet Pan Burger Sliders, bake them at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 to 18 minutes. The key is to check that the internal temperature reaches 160°F to ensure they’re safe and juicy. Adding cheese and baking a couple more minutes melts it beautifully.

What is the best hamburger meat for sliders?

I always recommend ground beef with an 80/20 fat ratio — that’s 80% lean and 20% fat. The extra fat keeps the sliders juicy and flavorful when baked. Using leaner meat can lead to drier sliders, which nobody wants!

Can you make sliders ahead of time and reheat?

Absolutely! You can bake the sliders in advance and store them in the fridge for up to two days. When it’s time to serve, just pop them back in the oven to warm and crisp up the buns. It’s a great way to save time for busy days or parties.

Instructions

Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a half-sheet pan (18×13 inches) with parchment paper.

Season the Meat: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.

Press and Bake: Evenly press the meat mixture into the prepared sheet pan. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F.

Drain and Top with Cheese: Carefully drain excess grease. Lay cheese slices evenly over the meat and return to the oven for 2–3 minutes until melted.

Add the Buns: Place top halves of slider buns over the cheese. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake for another 5 minutes to lightly toast the buns.

Slice and Serve: Cut into individual sliders along bun lines. Serve warm with pickles, ketchup, mustard, or your favorite toppings.
