If you’re wondering what to serve with your sliders, you’ve come to the right place.
In this article, I list 39 of the most popular side dishes for sliders.
In a rush? Here’s the short answer.
The best side dishes to serve with sliders are onion rings, grilled corn on the cob, mac and cheese, and baked beans. You can also serve a side of creamy coleslaw, crispy cajun fries, or mozzarella sticks. For more fun options, there’s buffalo cauliflower bites or a watermelon salad.
Ready? Let’s jump right in.
Creamy coleslaw
Whether you’re preparing sliders for a quick dinner or a big party, a cooling coleslaw is always a good pair.
It’s got a light refreshing touch that adds a nice contrast to savory sliders like pork or beef.
This recipe is for a classic coleslaw, but there are so many variations (even if you don’t like mayo!).
Why we love this recipe: it’s really easy to prepare for a crowd.

Another saucy side that goes great with sliders is baked beans.
I’ve seen some baked bean recipes with a massive ingredient list, but this one keeps it relatively simple with molasses, bacon, and onions.
It’s not the quickest dish to make, but it’s well worth the wait.
Why we love this recipe: it’s warm and cozy.

Mac and cheese
Mac and cheese and burgers are a great comfort food combination.
The pasta is rich, creamy, and extra cheesy thanks to three different types of cheese.
You can place a small spoonful of the mac and cheese in your slider, or you can just serve a heaping spoonful on the side (or both!)
Why we love this recipe: you can be sure no one will leave hungry (kids included).
