Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) 85% ground beef
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 8 ounces (227 grams) sliced cheddar cheese
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 yellow onion, diced
- 2 ounces (57 grams) onion soup mix packet
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons milk
Topping and Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F, preparing a 9×13 inch baking dish for the slider preparation.
- Thoroughly combine ground beef with finely chopped onion, dry soup mix, milk, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Evenly distribute the seasoned meat mixture into the baking dish, creating a uniform layer.
- Roast the meat in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until fully cooked and slightly crisp around edges.
- Carefully slice Hawaiian rolls horizontally, creating top and bottom halves.
- Arrange roll bottoms directly over the cooked meat in the baking dish.
- Layer sliced cheese evenly across the roll bottoms, covering completely.
- Drain excess liquid from the meat and spread the cooked beef over the cheese layer.
- Add another layer of cheese on top of the meat for extra richness.
- Position the roll tops gently over the cheese layer.
- Brush roll tops generously with melted butter for a golden, glossy finish.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds across the surface for added texture and flavor.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes until rolls are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let sliders rest for 5 minutes to set and cool slightly.
- Slice into individual sliders and serve warm.
Notes
- Select lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a cleaner, more flavorful slider.
- Drain beef thoroughly after cooking to prevent soggy rolls and maintain crisp texture.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or smoked cheddar for unique flavor profiles.
- Customize sliders for dietary needs by using ground turkey, plant-based meat alternatives, or gluten-free rolls.
