I took the basic idea for baked sliders but added mushrooms and switched to Swiss cheese. The "Mushroom Swiss Burger" has always been a favorite of mine.
At first I was worried that the mushrooms would dry out, since the burgers bake at 400 degrees. But since the cooking time is short and there's plenty of moisture from the meat and onions, all was fine.
The Swiss cheese was a little thick but melted nicely, keeping the mushrooms tucked in the middle. We cut them in quarters and used regular buns for dinner, but these can easily be cut into 9 sections and served on dinner rolls as sliders.
