How To Make Sheet Pan Burgers:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, add the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic and onion powder, salt, and pepper. Combine the ingredients. Press the mixture evenly in a 10×10 pan. You can use whatever pan works for you too!
2. Bake the meat for 10-15 minutes or until browned and no longer pink in the middle. Drain any excess grease. Top with cheese and bake again for another 2 minutes. Remove and place on the the bottom half of the sliders (I usually have to cut the burger to fit on the sliders)
3. Combine all the burger sauce ingredients and mix well. Assemble with your favorite toppings and then drizzle on the mayo mixture. Add the top bun and cut accordingly and serve!
Expert Tips
- Don’t Over-mix the Meat: It can be tempting to stir and stir and stir, but only mix the meat until the ingredients are just combined. This will keep the burgers tender. Over-mixing can lead to dense, tough burgers.
- Press Evenly: Once the meat mixture is combine, be sure to press it evenly in the pan for consistent cooking throughout and the best texture.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line your sheet pan with parchment for a quick and easy cleanup.
- Let Burgers Rest: Once the burger patty is cooked and sliders are assembled, let them rest for a few minutes to let let them set and keep them juicy.
- Use Fresh Toppings: Freshly shredded lettuce, sliced onions and tomatoes will give the burgers the best texture and flavor.
Variations
- Try Different Cheeses: American is the classic choice, but try cheddar, Swiss, Pepper Jack, or mozzarella for another flavor profile.
- Use Another Ground Meat: Try ground turkey or chicken for a slightly lighter burger.
- Make It Low Carb: Swap out the slider buns and serve these in lettuce wraps for a light, low-carb, refreshing burger.
- BBQ Burgers: Add a drizzle of your favorite BBQ sauce to the meat mixture, or as a topping, for a sweet-savory twist.
- Make Them Spicy: Mix in diced jalapeños or top the burgers with pickled jalapeños and a dash of hot sauce for heat and a little kick.

Storage
Store leftover burgers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Ideally, we suggest separating the meat patties from the buns and toppings for maximum freshness. To reheat, warm in the oven at 350° for 10-15 minutes, until heated through. Assemble with fresh toppings and condiments.
You can freeze leftover burgers by wrapping them in plastic wrap and foil, then storing for 3-4 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving, then reheat in the oven and assemble with your preferred toppings.
Feel free to make and form the meat patty ahead of time, or even cook it in advance, then cool and store in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the burgers and serve.
FAQs
Keep the burgers juicy and prevent them from drying out by using a binder like eggs and breadcrumbs, and don’t over-cook the patty. Once it’s cooked through, browned on top, and juicy, it’s ready to serve.
Ground beef should reach an internal temp of 160°F.
Absolutely! Ground turkey or chicken would be delicious and slightly lighter. Or even a plant-based option would work well.
