Recipe Yield: 12 sliders

INGREDIENTS

12-pack soft Hawaiian rolls (connected, not separated)
1 lb ground beef
6 slices sharp cheddar cheese
¾ cup finely chopped dill pickles
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
½ small red onion, finely diced (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment or foil.

2. Brown the beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess grease.

3. Season the meat:
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Then add mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped pickles. Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened.

4. Slice the rolls:
Without separating the rolls, slice them in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Place the bottom half on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Layer the sliders:
Evenly spread the cheeseburger mixture over the bottom buns. Layer on the cheddar slices to cover the beef completely. Sprinkle with red onion if using.

6. Add the tops:
Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer. Brush generously with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

7. Bake until golden:
Bake uncovered for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

8. Serve warm:
Let cool for 2–3 minutes, then use a sharp knife to pull apart or slice the sliders. Serve immediately.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

Use Hawaiian Rolls for Flavor and Texture: Their light sweetness complements the savory beef and cheddar, giving that irresistible classic cheeseburger flavor in every bite.
Don’t Overcook the Beef: For juicy sliders, cook until just browned—then season and finish briefly with the sauces to keep it moist.
Seal with Butter and Sesame: Brushing the tops with butter and sesame before baking adds that authentic burger bun finish and keeps the rolls soft yet crisp on top.
