Cheeseburger Sliders Recipe Ingredients

Ingredient	Swaps or Tips
Hawaiian rolls	Any soft dinner roll works, but Hawaiian adds the best flavor.
Lean ground beef (93/7)	Use 85/15 for a juicier slider or swap with ground turkey.
Beef seasonings	Add smoked paprika or Worcestershire for deeper flavor.
Cheese	Choose pre-sliced or freshly grated for the best melt. I suggest sharp cheese for more flavor.
Garlic herb or plain butter	Plain melted butter works great; add dried parsley for color.
