How to Make Mushroom and Swiss Sliders

Seasoned ground beef and diced onion cooking in a medium pan.

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, diced onion, hamburger seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Cook everything together, breaking up the beef as it browns, until no longer pink. Once cooked, set it aside.

Scatter the sliced mushrooms on top of the beef layer.

Add the remaining 6 slices of Swiss cheese over the mushrooms.

Place the top halves of the slider buns over everything to form your sandwiches.

Melted butter mixed with seasoning in a small bowl.

Melt the butter and stir in the remaining ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls to help them brown and add flavor.

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 3 more minutes to let the tops turn golden.

Let them cool for a minute, then slice into 12 individual sliders. Serve warm and enjoy!

Hint: To make assembly easier, cook the beef mixture a few hours ahead and refrigerate - it holds together better when slightly chilled.

Substitutions & Variations

Swap Swiss cheese for provolone, cheddar, or mozzarella if you prefer a different melt.
Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter version.
Add a layer of pickles or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
Replace slider rolls with Hawaiian rolls for a sweeter bite.
Make it spicy by mixing in diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.

💭Crucial Success Tips

Don't skip draining the beef - too much grease can make the rolls soggy.
Lightly toast the bottom half of the buns before layering to keep them firm.
Press the top buns gently into the cheese before baking so they stay in place.
Bake uncovered so the tops get golden and slightly crisp.

FAQ

Can I freeze them?

Yes - freeze the assembled (but unbaked) sliders. Wrap well and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw before baking.

How do I keep the bottom buns from getting soggy?

Drain the beef well and toast the bottom buns before layering ingredients.

Can I use a different cheese?

Absolutely. Cheddar, provolone, or mozzarella all work well if you're not into Swiss.
