# Ingredients:
For the sliders
01 -
1 package (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
02 -
1 1/2 lb (680 g) ground beef, preferably 85/15
03 -
1/2 cup (75 g) finely diced yellow onion
04 -
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
07 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
08 -
6 slices American cheese
09 -
1 cup (115 g) shredded cheddar cheese
10 -
24 dill pickle chips, patted dry
For the sauce and topping
11 -
1/3 cup (75 g) mayonnaise
12 -
2 tablespoons ketchup
13 -
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
14 -
1 tablespoon finely chopped dill pickle or relish
15 -
2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, melted
16 -
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
02 -
Cook the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, breaking the beef into small crumbles, until no pink remains.
03 -
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Spoon off excess fat from the pan so the filling is moist but not greasy.
04 -
In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and chopped pickle or relish. Set aside for drizzling or dipping.
05 -
Slice the rolls in half horizontally, keeping the slab attached. Place the bottom half in the baking dish. Layer with American cheese, cooked beef, cheddar, and pickle chips. Add a thin drizzle of sauce if desired, then place the top rolls over the filling.
06 -
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden.
07 -
Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes. Cut into 12 portions and serve warm with the remaining sauce on the side.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served warm within 20 minutes of baking.
02 -
Pat pickles dry before layering so they do not water down the rolls.
03 -
Use a thermometer to confirm ground beef reaches 160°F.
