When you think of a party, the thought of dips, casseroles, and sheet pan recipes first come to mind, but many people sleep on the greatness of sliders. Easy to assemble, and perfectly portioned for a crowd, sliders are jam-packed with a variety of ingredients and can be both savory and sweet. Their small size makes it easy for people to try a menagerie of things without getting too full. Here, these nine recipes are examples of some perfect party sliders.
Mississippi Sin Sliders
A classic south of the Mason-Dixon Line dip is transformed into a party bite with this recipe for Mississippi Sin Sliders.

Maid-Rite Sliders
The restaurant Maid-Rite’s loose ground beef sandwich is so famous that it is simply called a Maid-Rite sandwich. Unlike a Sloppy Joe, which is saucy, a Maid-Rite sandwich is known for its heavily seasoned ground beef that’s topped with the usual hamburger fixings. Here, that sandwich is transformed into a party-perfect portion with this recipe for Maid-Rite Sliders. The same complexly seasoned ground beef is layered between buttery Hawaiian rolls and baked alongside cheese and pickles, creating a slider that will definitely require a second (or third) helping.

Animal Style Sliders
Taking a trip to the West Coast requires a pilgrimage to an In & Out Burger joint. But when that sort of trip isn’t possible, you can bring a bit of the famous West Coast burger vibes to any party in the form of these Animal-Style Sliders. The secret menu option known as animal style is a topping combination of caramelized onions, extra fry sauce, and pickles. Rather than forming a million tiny hamburger patties, this recipe calls for cooking up loose ground beef instead. The ground beef is layered with cheese, topped with all of the caramelized, grilled, pickled, and sauced goodness, and baked until bubbly hot between buttery and airy slider buns, making a party food that’s decadent, portable, and a little messy in the best possible way.
