Love a burger for game day, but make it bitesize and can bee cooked all at once introducing Patty Melt Sliders. Small but mighty, pure perfection.
What Makes This Recipe Great
Hello my friends and welcome back to another banger week of Football Friday. We took a few weeks off of posting a slider recipe but we we could not wait another week to share there Patty Melt Sliders. These have all the highlights of a traditional burger, just in a more compact delivery.
This recipe is another relatively simple recipe where you can substitute where need be. If you don’t love ground beef feel free to substitute with turkey or ground chicken. If Swiss cheese isn’t your jam use any cheese your family loves. The star of the show is a tie between the caramelized onions and the thousand island dressing. Both stand out in their own right but each add just the right amount of sweetness and tanginess to take these Patty Melt Sliders.
Ingredient List
- Hawaiian Rolls
- Ground Beef– 80/20 is the perfect ratio
- Lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix – you will just need one of the packets in the box
- Onion
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Thousand Island Sauce– or any burger sauce you like
- Swiss Cheese
Step By Step
- In a large skillet cook the ground beef while breaking it up until fully cooked, add the Lipton Beefy Onion Soup mix and mix completely. Set aside.
- In empty skillet add oil and sliced onion and cook for around 10 minute, add Worcestershire sauce and cook a few more minutes.
- Slice hawaiian rolls length way and coat each side with thousand island dressing, spread the ground beef on one side and then the onions and lastly the cheese.
- Close the sandwich and place them on a parchment paper lines baking sheet. Place another parchment sheet on-top of the sliders and another baking sheet on-top.
- Place a large and heavy cast iron skillet on the sliders and bake for 12 minutes. This is not necessary but it creates a great crispy slider. Enjoy!
Pro Tip
- Feel free to add any fun addition to this recipe, mushrooms, bacon, avocado!
Frequently Asked Question
Could I cook this on the grill?
- Yes, this would work out amazing on the grill. Use your cast iron skillet to cook the onion and ground beef. When you are ready to cook the sliders assemble them on a cookie sheet and place the heavy cast iron on top of the sliders to weigh them down.

Patty Melt Sliders
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp avocado oil, separated
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet Lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 12 pack hawaiian rolls
- Thousand island, or favorite burger sauce
- 6 slices swiss cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Place a pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan.
- Cook ground beef in pan, breaking it up until browned.
- Add packet of beefy onion soup mix to the pan and stir to combine. Set ground beef aside.
- In (another or the same) pan, add the other 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan with sliced onions. Cook for 10 minutes on medium low heat, stirring occasionally. Then add in 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce and cook for 2 more minutes until soft.
- To assemble sliders, slice hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise.
- Spread just enough burger sauce to coat on both sides.
- Add ground beef to the bottom half and spread evenly. Then spread onions across the beef.
- Lay the swiss cheese slices on top then add the top layer of rolls.
- Place sliders on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Spray the top with baking spray then place another piece of parchment paper on top followed by another baking sheet and a heavy pan (i used an 8 inch cast iron skillet). This pushes the sliders down like a patty melt but not necessary if you don’t want them pressed down!
- Bake in the 425 degree oven for 12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and enjoy!
What a great idea! And excellent road map to deliciousness.
Thanks Nanc! love a delicious sammie for the football game!
Can you make the sliders “ahead of time” and reheat before serving? Like bake them at home (or assemble at home) and then reheat or bake at friends house an hour later? Or would they get too saggy?
You can totally cook the meat and onions ahead of time and then assemble and cook when you get to your friend’s house.
