Grilled cheeseburger sliders are topped with melty American cheese and zesty, crunchy street corn. These juicy mini burgers are then drizzled with a creamy jalapeno lime ranch sauce and served on soft, sweet Hawaiian rolls. They are the perfect meal or party appetizer for summer cookouts.
One of the easiest recipes to serve a hungry crowd is handheld sliders, and these Street Corn Cheeseburger Sliders are always a favorite.

Why You’ll Love These Cheeseburger Sliders
Make-Ahead Friendly – The street corn and the jalapeno lime ranch can be made up to two days ahead, sealed tightly, and stored in the fridge. This makes assembling the burgers so easy.
Flavorful and Juicy – I love to grill my burgers if it’s warm outside for that distinct smoky taste. But these work just as well if you make them indoors in a skillet. Either way, these cheeseburger sliders are juicy and full of so much flavor.
Customize Them – You can make these your own by adding or removing toppings to make them perfect for your family and friends.
Perfect for Parties – Whether you cook the burgers indoors for Superbowl Sunday or out on the grill for a backyard BBQ these are a great appetizer or meal for any occasion.
Key Ingredients
Here are the ingredients I used to make these delicious and juicy mini cheeseburger sliders:
Ground Hamburger – It’s best to grab 80/20 ground beef or pre-formed patties like Wahlburgers. We will simply season them with kosher salt and cracked black pepper on both sides.
Cheese Slices – I love American cheese for that classic burger taste, but many other cheeses will work like cheddar or pepper jack for a little extra kick of heat.
Creamy Jalapeno Lime Ranch – If you’ve been a reader of my blog, you are likely familiar with my Chuy’s Creamy Jalapeno Copycat Recipe. I’ll prepare the same sauce and topping for the burgers. Be sure to save a little extra for dipping your chips in!
Street Corn – a combination of sweet corn, jalapeno, cilantro, lime, mayo and spices. This is the best street corn recipe and one of our favorite side dishes. But it shines even more as a topping on these yummy handheld burgers.
Pickles – The tanginess of the pickles pairs so well with the creamy sauce, juicy burgers, and sweet, pillowy, soft Hawaiian rolls.
Mayonnaise – a light coating of mayo goes onto the bottom buns for a little decadence.
How to Make Cheeseburger Sliders
First, prep the creamy jalapeno ranch and the street corn according to the recipe directions.
If using loose ground hamburger, use clean hands to form into 2 oz. balls for slider-sized patties, then flatten into thin circular patties. If using pre-formed patties, skip this step.
Season them liberally on both sides with kosher salt and cracked pepper. Make a slight indentation in the center of the patties to prevent too much shrinkage.
Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes per side over a pre-heated medium-high grill or in a skillet heated to medium-high. Top with cheese for the last minute of cooking.
Assemble the sliders by slicing the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. If desired, place the top and bottom rolls face-side up and toast under a broiler for 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Spread mayonnaise on the bottom buns. Add two pickles per slider, then top with the warm cheeseburger patties.
Add a layer of street corn over the burgers, about a spoonful per slider. This makes the burgers a little messy to eat, but it’s so worth it!
Finally, top the underside of the top buns with a generous layer of creamy jalapeno sauce and place them on top of the cheeseburger sliders. Slice them up into individual sliders and serve warm.

I made these last night for dinner. They were super tasty and easy to make. The only thing I did different was I used brioche buns instead of Hawaiian rolls. So they were regular sized burgers. Will defiantly make again… I think I’m going to add some bacon as well!
These cheeseburger sliders are over-the-top delicious! And a little messy in the best way possible.
