# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment.
02 -
Add the ground beef and onion to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 7-9 minutes, breaking up the meat, until browned and no pink remains. Drain well.
03 -
Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, ketchup, yellow mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
04 -
Slice the connected rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom slab in the baking dish, add 4 cheese slices, spread the beef evenly over the cheese, add pickles, then top with the remaining cheese and roll tops.
05 -
Mix melted butter, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush over the roll tops and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
06 -
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake 5-7 minutes more, until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted. Rest 5 minutes, then cut into 12 sliders.
# Good to know:
01 -
Serve two sliders per person as a main dish with sides.
02 -
Pat pickle chips dry before layering to keep the rolls from getting soggy.
03 -
Cook ground beef until it reaches 160 F.
