- Spoon the cheesy beef mixture generously over the bottom buns.
- Cover with the top halves of the buns and brush them lightly with melted butter, if desired, for a crispy finish.
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the buns are golden and the cheese is bubbling.

- Finally, add your favorite toppings like lettuce, diced tomatoes, and pickles before serving. Enjoy your warm, delightful sliders!
Top Tips for Perfecting Chopped Cheeseburger Sliders
- Substitutions: If you want a lighter twist, consider using lean ground turkey or chicken instead of beef, ensuring it’s halal.
- Timing: Make sure not to overcook the beef; it’s best when it’s juicy!
- Common Mistakes: Avoid using too much filler—stick to the basics to keep the flavor rich and satisfying.
Storing and Reheating Tips
If you have leftovers (though they might be hard to resist), you can store Chopped Cheeseburger Sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This will help maintain that delicious taste and texture, keeping the sliders as delightful as when they were first made.
