Scale
Meat Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Bread Ingredients:
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) sesame seeds
Cheese and Dairy Ingredients:
- 6 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter, melted
Seasoning and Condiment Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (40 grams) diced onion
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) ketchup
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) mustard
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F (175C), preparing a baking dish for assembling sliders.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef with diced onions, thoroughly draining excess fat after cooking.
- Season the beef mixture with ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, blending flavors completely before removing from heat.
- Carefully slice Hawaiian rolls horizontally, maintaining their connected structure, and position bottom halves in the prepared baking dish.
- Distribute the seasoned beef evenly across the roll bottoms, creating a uniform layer of meat.
- Arrange cheddar cheese slices directly on top of the beef mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Gently place roll top halves over the cheese layer, creating a complete slider assembly.
- Generously brush roll tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until cheese melts completely and roll tops turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven, allow to cool briefly, then slice into individual sliders for serving.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce fat content and create a healthier slider option.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss for unique flavor profiles.
- Replace beef with plant-based ground meat for a vegetarian version that maintains the same delicious texture and taste.
- Prepare the beef mixture ahead of time and refrigerate for quick assembly when ready to bake, making meal prep more convenient.
