I grew up eating taco burgers at a local fast-food restaurant. They no longer make the burger, so I decided to make my own but wanted a smaller slider version. A "funeral sandwich" recipe was my inspiration for developing this slider.

A platter of Baked Taco Burgers Sliders.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These taco burger sliders could be an easy dinner or a game-day appetizer. Meaty, cheesy, and cheesy with great flavor, they're similar to a loose meat burger with a taco angle. Brushing melted butter on top of the dinner rolls means after baking them, the rolls are golden brown. Simple to throw together, these will be a crowd-pleaser.

How To Make baked taco burgers sliders

Step 1

In a Dutch oven boil ground beef, in enough water to cover, until no longer pink.

Step 2

Break beef up into very small pieces as it is cooking. Drain and discard water.
Step 3

Return ground beef to pan and add the diced onion, taco seasoning mix, and 2 c water.
Step 4

Mix thoroughly then simmer until all liquid is absorbed.
Step 5

Grease a large cookie sheet. Split all the rolls in half.
Step 6

Spread a thin layer of taco sauce on each half. Lay the bottom halves on the cookie sheet.
Step 7

Layer the tops of the bottom halves in the following order: 1 tablespoon of grated cheddar and about 3 tablespoons of taco meat.
Step 8

Add 1 more tablespoon of grated cheddar and top bun.
Step 9

Once all 24 rolls are assembled, brush the top of each roll with the melted butter.
Step 10

Cover the rolls with aluminum foil. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
Step 11

Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
