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.

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.
If you’re unfamiliar with a chopped cheese sandwich, 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. Give them a try for yourself and see how fast they go.
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.

How To Make It
Heres how to make this delicious sandwich. You can find the full ingredients list along with intructions on the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 350°
- 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. Line the bottom half of the buns with sliced American cheese. In a large skillet, sauté the onion in a little olive oil and add the ground beef. Season the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder and stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Turn off the heat and still in the shredded cheddar cheese. This will act as a binder and help the meat stick together.
- Add the meat mixture to the bottom of the Hawaiian rolls. Brush the top of the buns with the melted butter and sprinkle them with sesame seeds. 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. Drizzle them with ketchup and place the top half of the buns on top. Slice them into individual portions and enjoy!
