Chopped Cheeseburgers

Save this recipe on:

Sink your teeth into these irresistibly gooey Chopped Cheeseburgers — a flavor-packed twist on the classic cheeseburger. Each bite delivers juicy ground beef, melted cheese, and golden toasted buns in a pull-apart slider format that’s perfect for weeknight dinners, game day spreads, or casual entertaining.

These baked sliders come together in one dish and capture everything you love about a cheeseburger but with way less fuss. The chopped beef melds beautifully with sautéed onions and melted American cheese, all tucked into soft, buttery Hawaiian rolls that turn golden and crisp in the oven.

What Kind of Bread Rolls Work Best?

Hawaiian sweet rolls are the top pick for these Chopped Cheeseburgers because of their soft texture and slightly sweet flavor, which contrasts beautifully with the savory filling. But if you’re in a pinch, any slider buns or dinner rolls will work—just aim for something fluffy and not too crusty, so the sliders hold together.

Ingredients for the Chopped Cheeseburgers

Ground Beef: The star of the show. Choose an 80/20 mix for juicy, flavorful results without excess grease.

Onion: Sautéed until golden, it adds savory depth and balances the richness of the beef and cheese.

American Cheese: Melts perfectly and gives that iconic cheeseburger creaminess. Substitute with cheddar or provolone for a different flavor profile.

Mayonnaise: Adds a creamy layer that pairs with the cheese and meat without overpowering the flavor.

Slider Buns (Hawaiian Rolls): Soft, buttery, and slightly sweet, they toast beautifully and keep the filling together.

Butter: Brushed on top for that golden crust and extra indulgence.

Garlic Powder & Parsley: For a boost of flavor in the melted butter topping.

How To Make the Chopped Cheeseburgers

Step 1: Sauté the Onion and Brown the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onion in a bit of oil or butter until soft and fragrant. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Stir in Cheese

Once the beef is cooked, reduce the heat and stir in chopped or sliced American cheese until it’s fully melted and creamy. Add a little mayonnaise to smooth out the texture and boost flavor.

Step 3: Prepare the Rolls

Slice the slider buns in half horizontally (keeping them connected). Lay the bottom half in a greased baking dish. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the bottom buns.

Step 4: Top, Butter, and Bake

Place the top half of the buns over the filling. Brush with melted butter mixed with garlic powder and chopped parsley. Bake at 350°F for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and warmed through.

How to Serve and Store Chopped Cheeseburgers

Serve these straight out of the oven while the cheese is melty and the tops are golden and crispy. They’re easy to pull apart and perfect for serving at parties or casual meals. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven to restore crispness—the microwave works too, but the buns may soften.
