Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Cheese and Bread:
- 6 slices cheddar cheese, halved
- 12 hawaiian rolls, sliced in half
Condiments and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) diced onions
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) ketchup
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) mustard
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) sliced pickles
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F (175°C), ensuring a consistent temperature for optimal cooking.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté ground beef with diced onions, seasoning with salt and pepper. Break down the meat while cooking until it achieves a rich, browned texture. Eliminate excess grease by draining.
- Arrange the bottom halves of Hawaiian rolls in a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating a uniform base for the sliders.
- Distribute the cooked beef mixture evenly across the roll bottoms, creating a hearty foundation.
- Enhance flavor by drizzling ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise over the beef layer.
- Layer halved cheese slices strategically across the seasoned meat.
- Carefully position the top halves of the Hawaiian rolls, creating complete slider sandwiches.
- Generously brush melted butter over the roll tops, ensuring complete coverage.
- Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds across the buttered surface for added texture and visual appeal.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, monitoring until cheese melts completely and rolls turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow brief cooling before serving alongside crisp pickles.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and create a healthier slider option.
- Customize seasonings by adding garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, or smoked paprika for extra flavor depth.
- Swap Hawaiian rolls with gluten-free alternatives for those with dietary restrictions, ensuring everyone can enjoy these mini burgers.
- Prep sliders ahead of time and refrigerate before baking, which helps ingredients meld together and intensifies overall taste.
