• Tops of the Rolls – Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds.
• Rolls – We love the flavor of Hawaiian Rolls, but you can use dinner rolls if you prefer.

How to Make Cheeseburger Sliders on Blackstone Griddle

• Step 1 – Heat Griddle – Preheat the Blackstone grill over medium heat (approximately 450 degrees F). 

• Step 2 – Cut Hawaiian Rolls – Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise. 

Step 3 – Prepare Ground Beef Mixture – Then form the ground beef into a large rectangle. Roughly the size of the Hawaiian rolls that is approximately ¼ inch thick.  

Step 4 – Butter Griddle – Place the butter on the grill and use a spatula to spread it out. Place a large sheet of parchment paper on top of the beef.

Step 5 – Season Ground Beef – Remove the parchment paper and season the beef with salt and pepper. 

Step 7 – Cook Ground Beef – Allow the beef to cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Cook until the beef is cooked through.  You will know that the beef is ready to flip when juices start to pool on top. The outsides of the beef start to brown then is ready to flip.

Step 8 – Toast Rolls – Place the Hawaiian rolls onto the grill. Place cut side down, for a few minutes to toast the rolls.  Remove the rolls from the grill. 

Step 8 – Top with Cheese – Cover the top of the beef with the American cheese slices. 

Step 9 – Place beef on rolls – Once the cheese has melted, remove the beef and place it on the bottom half of the rolls. Then place with the top half of the rolls.

Step 10 – Cut and Serve – Use a serrated knife to cut apart the sliders. Then they are ready to serve and enjoy.

Recipe Tips

• Melty Cheese – Leave the ground beef on the griddle topped with cheese for a few minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Shaping Ground Beef – Shape your ground beef in a thin layer in a rectangle shape. It does not have to be perfect just make it about the same size as your Hawaiian rolls.
• Burger Sliders – We recommend serving cooking and serving immediately so the rolls do not get soggy.
• Cheese – These Sliders can easily be made without cheese if you prefer. My son does not like cheese, so I usually make half without cheese.

Slider Topping Ideas

You can easily top them with your favorite sauces or toppings.  

• Bacon – Make Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders for a delicious option.
• Sauce – Before placing the top of the bun on the cheeseburger, add ketchup, mustard or mayonnaise.
• Pickles – Top the sliders with slice pickles before serving the sliders.
• Lettuce – Add green leaf lettuce or ice berg lettuce before serving.
