  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 24 sliders

Ingredients

For the Sliders

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup yellow onion, minced
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 24 pack Hawaiian Rolls
  • Sliced dill pickles, as desired
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese (for layering)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

For the Burger Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup sweet relish
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar (or fresh lemon juice)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare Baking Pan: Spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks to ensure even browning.
  4. Add Onion: While the beef cooks, add the minced yellow onion into the skillet mixing it with the meat to soften and blend flavors.
  5. Drain Fat: Once the ground beef is fully cooked and no longer pink, drain any excess grease and remove from heat.
  6. Season Meat: Stir in salt, black pepper, and garlic powder thoroughly to season the meat mixture well.
  7. Mix in Cheese and Mayo: Combine the shredded cheddar cheese and mayonnaise into the seasoned beef mixture to create a creamy texture.
  8. Slice Rolls: Carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally to create top and bottom buns for each slider.
  9. Assemble Bottom Layer: Arrange the bottom halves of the rolls evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  10. Layer Sliders: Spread the beef mixture over the bottom buns, then layer with slices of cheddar cheese and pickles.
  11. Add Burger Sauce: Drizzle the prepared burger sauce generously over the layered ingredients.
  12. Top the Sliders: Place the top halves of the buns onto each slider to complete the assembly.
  13. Butter and Sesame Seeds: Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over them for added flavor and texture.
  14. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Notes

  • Use freshly minced onion for best flavor and texture in the meat mixture.
  • If you prefer spicy sliders, add some chili powder or hot sauce to the beef mixture or burger sauce.
  • Make sure to drain excess grease from the cooked meat to avoid soggy buns.
  • The burger sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve warm for the best cheesy, melty slider experience.
