Velveeta Cheeseburger Sliders fill twelve soft buns with a creamy sausage, tomato-chile, and cheese mixture, then finish the tops with garlic butter. The filling is cooked entirely in one skillet before the assembled slab receives a short oven bake.
The recipe makes exactly 12 sliders. Preparation takes 10 minutes, cooking takes 10 minutes, and the listed total is 20 minutes. Bake at 350°F for 5–10 minutes, just long enough to heat the centers and season the roll tops.
Velveeta Cheeseburger Slider Ingredients
Prepare 16 oz Velveeta cut into ½-inch cubes, one 10 oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies, ½ cup sour cream, and 1 lb ground breakfast sausage.
For assembly, use exactly 12 slider buns. The topping needs ½ cup melted butter and 1–2 tablespoons garlic powder. The garlic range lets you choose a milder or stronger finish without changing the filling.
