These sheet pan sliders are a quick and easy way to serve up juicy, cheesy mini burgers perfect for any occasion. With simple ingredients and minimal prep, they're ideal for weeknight dinners or feeding a crowd.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9x13" sheet pan with parchment paper.
Place the beef in a bowl and add salt and pepper. Mix well. (You can also do this right on the sheet pan to save a dish).
Press the beef into the sheet pan, all the way to the edges. It will shrink while it cooks.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Once done, drain the excess fat. Add the cheese while the beef is still hot.
Meanwhile, slice the burger buns through the middle using a serrated knife, keeping them connected on the sides. Spread the bottom with mayo.
Place the drained beef patty onto the buns. Add pickle slices. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard. Add the tops of the buns.
Use the serrated knife to slice the burgers into 12 and serve right away.

Notes
Use a pan with a tall lip. If your pan sides are short, double layer it with a larger pan for safety, to help prevent the grease spilling over the pan in the oven.Use parchment paper on your sheet pan. It helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.Don’t overmix the beef. Mixing too much can make it dense and dry unless you are using something like grated onion to help keep it moist. Just combine the salt and pepper and press it in the pan.In my opinion, these assembled burgers on buns are always best right when they are made, but we have saved leftovers in the fridge. I prefer to take them apart and heat just the beef when reheating these.
