Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef 85/15 or 90/10 works best
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 12 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and finely chopped onion until beef is browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the garlic powder, ketchup, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Without separating the rolls, slice the entire slab of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the bottom rolls. Layer the cheddar cheese slices on top of the beef.
  6. Place the top half of the rolls onto the cheese layer.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and Worcestershire sauce. Brush the mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  10. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Tip 1: To prevent soggy bottoms, make sure to drain the beef mixture very well.
Tip 2: Feel free to add a layer of dill pickle slices on top of the cheese before adding the top buns for extra classic cheeseburger flavor.
Tip 3: These sliders can be assembled a few hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate, then add the butter topping just before baking.
