FAQ About Sliders

Ham and cheese sliders, as well as most other varieties, can easily be frozen. Prep according to recipe directions in an aluminum baking dish, but don’t bake.

You may also freeze and reheat leftover sliders that have been stored in an airtight container and reheated later.

There are two things that differentiate a slider from a burger: Its smaller size and cooked slider buns.
Why is a burger called a slider?
When burgers are referred to as “sliders” it indicates a smaller size as well as its extra buttery flavor.
