Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) lean ground beef
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
Seasoning and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Sauce and Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce or ketchup
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a baking dish by lining with parchment paper or foil, lightly greasing if needed for easier removal.
- Sauté diced onions in a skillet until translucent and golden brown, then add ground beef and cook thoroughly, ensuring no pink remains.
- Drain excess fat from the beef mixture and return to pan, stirring in mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Slice Hawaiian rolls horizontally, creating a top and bottom layer for the sliders.
- Layer the bottom half of rolls with a portion of shredded cheese, spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly, then top with additional cheese.
- Prepare a glaze by whisking melted butter with Dijon mustard and brown sugar until smooth and well integrated.
- Carefully brush the glaze over the top of the rolls, ensuring even coverage, and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
- Place sliders in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and rolls are slightly crispy and golden.
- Remove from oven, let cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice into individual sliders and serve warm.
Notes
- Cheese Selection Experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
- Meat Modification Use ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter, healthier alternative to beef.
- Spice Adjustment Add cayenne or red pepper flakes to boost heat and create a zesty slider version.
- Prep Efficiency Assemble sliders ahead of time and refrigerate, then bake just before serving for convenient entertaining.
