Ingredients
For the Ground Beef:
- 1 Tbsp. softened butter
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 white onion, finely diced
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp. yellow mustard
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- Pepper, to taste
For the Burgers:
- 1 pack dinner rolls, 12 count (King’s Hawaiian Savory Butter Rolls recommended)
- 16 slices American cheese
- 3 Tbsp. butter, melted
- Pinch of salt and garlic powder
- 2 tsp. white sesame seeds
For the Burger Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. distilled white vinegar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter the bottom of a baking sheet.
- In a sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onions for 3 minutes, then add ground beef. Cook 6–7 minutes until no longer pink. Drain fat.
- Stir in garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 more minute.
- Slice rolls in half. Place bottoms on the baking sheet.
- Whisk melted butter with salt and garlic powder.
- Layer 8 cheese slices on rolls, spread beef mixture on top, then add remaining cheese.
- Place top buns on. Brush with butter mixture and sprinkle sesame seeds.
- Bake 12–15 minutes until cheese is melted and sliders are warmed through. Cover loosely with foil if tops brown too quickly.
- Mix all burger sauce ingredients in a bowl.
- Serve sliders warm with the sauce for dipping.
Tips for Success
- Use Hawaiian rolls: Their soft texture makes the perfect slider bun.
- Don’t skip the sauce: It adds that classic cheeseburger flavor.
- Make ahead: Cook the beef mixture earlier in the day and assemble before baking.
- Double the batch: These sliders always go fast at parties!
