Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 8 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
Cheese and Bread:
- 1 package 12-count Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Seasonings and Condiments:
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup sliced dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- Mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
- Sizzle ground beef with onions in a skillet over medium heat until meat browns and onions soften. Drain excess fat and infuse with garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper for robust flavor.
- Heat oven to 350F. Slice Hawaiian sweet roll package horizontally without separating individual rolls. Position bottom half on baking sheet as a unified base.
- Layer cooked beef mixture evenly across roll bottoms. Distribute crumbled bacon, cheese slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard for maximum taste coverage.
- Crown the sliders with top roll halves. Brush surfaces with melted butter and optionally sprinkle sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
- Wrap baking sheet loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and cheese to begin melting.
- Remove foil and continue baking 5 additional minutes until cheese completely melts and roll tops transform into golden, crispy surfaces.
- Slice into individual sliders. For extra richness, spread mayonnaise across rolls before serving warm. Enjoy immediately for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Customize Meat Choice: Swap ground beef for ground turkey or plant-based crumbles to create a lighter or vegetarian version of these sliders.
- Optimize Flavor Depth: Add a splash of BBQ sauce or hot sauce to the ground beef mixture for an extra flavor kick that elevates the classic cheeseburger profile.
- Cheese Flexibility: Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack, smoked cheddar, or blue cheese to create unique flavor combinations that suit personal taste preferences.
- Make-Ahead Magic: Prepare the beef mixture and assemble sliders in advance, then refrigerate until ready to bake, making them perfect for game day or quick entertaining.
