Ingredient Highlights

  • Hawaiian Rolls: These soft and slightly sweet rolls provide the perfect base for sliders, balancing the savory flavors of the cheeseburger.
  • Ground Beef: An 80/20 blend ensures juicy, flavorful beef patties.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Melts beautifully and adds a classic cheeseburger flavor.
  • Worcestershire Sauce: Adds depth and a savory umami kick to the beef.
  • Butter Topping: Enhances the rolls with a rich, buttery flavor and optional sesame seed garnish.

Instructions

Prepare the Beef Mixture:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it browns. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  3. Season the Beef: Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Sliders:

  1. Prepare the Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected. Place the bottom half on a baking sheet or in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Layer the Ingredients: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom rolls (optional). Evenly spread the cooked beef mixture over the rolls. Top with halved cheese slices, ensuring each slider gets a piece of cheese. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.

Add the Butter Topping:

  1. Prepare the Butter Topping: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder, sesame seeds, and parsley. Brush the mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.

Bake the Sliders:

  1. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.

Serve:

  1. Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to cut the sliders into individual sandwiches. Serve immediately with ketchup, mustard, or other favorite condiments.
