Ingredients
For the Beef
- 2 lb lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7 fat content)
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 large yellow onion, finely diced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
For Assembly
- 8 slices medium cheddar cheese
- 6 oz medium cheddar cheese, shredded (or more slices as preferred)
- 24 dinner rolls (or 2 packs of 12)
For Topping
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus more for greasing the baking sheet)
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C). Grease the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet with melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, add 1/2 Tbsp olive oil. Add the finely diced onion, then the ground beef. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Sauté until cooked through; remove from heat.
- Remove Excess Fat & Add Mayo: Spoon off excess fat. Stir in mayonnaise for creaminess.
- Prepare the Rolls & Cheese Layer: Slice rolls; place bottoms on sheet. Add sliced cheddar cheese.
- Assemble the Sliders: Spread beef mixture over cheese, then add shredded cheddar.
- Top & Finish: Place top halves of rolls, brush with butter, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes until cheese melts and tops are golden brown. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to prevent excess grease.
- Customize sliders with pickles, ketchup, or mustard.
- Swap cheddar for other melty cheeses.
- Prep ahead and bake before serving.
