Not even one iota of you will be missing regular buns with these Grain Free Cheeseburger Sliders. They are every bit as scrumptious as you imagine and without gluten or grain!

Grain Free Cheeseburger Sliders

I’ve officially survived my myomectomy (that’s a long word for fibroid surgery) and I am SO RELIEVED to be done. I had so much anticipatory anxiety leading up to the surgery, I really questioned my ability to follow through with it. Fortunately, everything went well and I am recovering as best I could have hoped. 

My family is en route to Florida to spend the holidays together and so I am really grateful I won’t be in bed the whole time. I was worried about the timing of this surgery, but also knew I needed to get it done. If you haven’t been following along my not-so-fun journey, you can see it under my Instagram highlight HERE.

Since we celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas with my parents, I wanted to have a menu that checked all the holiday boxes. So we’ll do traditional latkes and sufganiyot one night, and all the traditional Christmas fare on the 25th. I love when the two holidays overlap – it might add to the chaos, but it also keeps things nice and consolidated. I had the idea to make these sliders tonight and tomorrow I’m making homemade pizza with my Pizza Crust and Pretzel Mix from Legit Bread Company. This recipe uses the Everything Dough Mix from Zenbelly and OMG is it perfect.

It takes a little time to pull together each step, but once you get going, it’s pretty seamless. I was able to spend only about 30 minutes of active time and the rest was just waiting for the goods to be done. You can start the buns first or the meat, it really won’t matter which gets set aside. I cooked the meat first and then let the cheese get melting while I baked the buns. Let me know what you think, this might be a new favorite!

  3. Roll the meat between two pieces of parchment paper until thin, transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes
  4. While the meat bakes, prepare your slider buns by following the directions on the Everything Dough mix packaging
  5. Remove the burger meat from the oven and set aside
  6. Roll the dough into 3″ balls and place them in a pie tin or other pan with edges to keep them from spreading too far apart

  9. Once the buns are ready, remove them from the oven and let them sit briefly, before slicing them open and placing a cheese topped patty on each one
  10. I added caramelized onions to mine and left the kids with meat and cheese only but top them to your liking!

  10. That sounds like a perfect holiday meal! I love how you balanced the prep time so it’s not overwhelming. Speaking of keeping the brain sharp while waiting for those buns to bake, I’ve been obsessed with a gentle nudge for my daily word search lately. It’s so much better than just looking up the answers when I’m stuck on the Spangram. Thanks for the recipe!
