Chopped cheese sliders are bite-sized sandwiches packed with seasoned chopped beef and melted cheese, topped with shredded lettuce and diced tomato for a quick and easy meal.

Chopped Cheese Sliders

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

You don’t have to take a trip to New York to enjoy these delicious and easy to make chopped cheese sliders. New York is home to the chopped cheese sandwich.

Luckily for me, I live in Bergen County, NJ. That’s about and north Jersey as you can get.

I can just pop over the boarder to grab one of these iconic sandwiches if I need to. But no need to worry.

You can make one right at home with ease. We do quite often actually.

If you’re unfamiliar, they’re basically like a cheeseburger delux but the meat is chopped into pieces. Thats how they got the name, Im sure.

They are perfect choice for an easy lunch, dinner or after school snack. And don’t even get me started on parties.

It’s the ultimate crowd pleasing appetizer. I’ve made these for so many events and they always the first things to go. They do particularly well on game day, too.

I hope you give these sliders a try. If you do, I know you’ll love them just as much as my family and I do.

Chopped Cheese Sliders Variations

I like this slider recipe made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

  • Meat- Ground turkey would be ok to substitute for the ground beef.
  • Toppings- Instead of/ in addition to the shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes add whatever you’d like. Diced onion or jalapenos would be a great choice.
  • Cheese- Any kind of cheese would work for this recipe so feel free to choose your favorite.
  • Seasoning- I kept the seasoning simple here but you can use anything you’d like. Make it your own.
  • Sauce- Add another layer of flavor by using Big Mac Sauce or any kind of sauce that you’d prefer like mustard or mayonnaise.

Chopped Cheese Slider Ingredients

  • Kings Hawaiian Rolls
  • American Cheese Slices
  • Olive Oil
  • Ground Beef
  • Diced Onion
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Ketchup
  • Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder
  • Melted Butter
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Shredded Lettuce
  • Diced Tomatoes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°

First, slice open (horizontally) the package of Kings Hawaiian Rolls and place the bottom half onto a baking sheet. Place the top half by its side.

Then, line the bottom half of the buns with sliced American cheese.

Next, in a large skillet, sauté the onion in a little olive oil and add the ground beef.

Next, season the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder and stir in the Worcestershire sauce.

Then, turn off the heat and still in the shredded cheddar cheese. This will act as a binder and help the meat stick together.

Now, add the meat mixture to the bottom of the Hawaiian rolls.

Then, brush the top of the buns with the melted butter and sprinkle them with sesame seeds.

Now, place the baking sheet into the center rack of the oven for about 5 minutes or until the buns are toasted. Be sure to keep an eye on them. They can burn fast!

Once they are done, add a layer of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.

Then, drizzle them with ketchup and place the top half of the buns on top.

Finally, slice them into individual portions and enjoy!
