Listen up, everybody! Cheeseburger sliders just went from time consuming and meticulous to easy and breezy!
With our method, you simply season the meat, pat it out, and bake it. When it bakes, it will magically cook into the perfect size for a dozen Hawaiian roll slider buns!
While these are definitely easy enough for a weeknight supper, we mostly use them when cooking for a crowd. Serve these up with some crispy tater tots and a veggie tray and you’ve got a delicious meal on your hands.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (12-pack) of Hawaiian rolls
- 6 slices of your favorite cheese (cheddar, American, Swiss—you pick!)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Sesame seeds for sprinkling (optional but fun!)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Press the beef mixture evenly into a 9×13-inch casserole dish and bake for 20 minutes until cooked through.
- While the beef is baking, slice the Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise. Set the tops aside.
- Once the meat is done, carefully lift it out (we use two spatulas for this trick!) and place it onto the bottom half of the rolls.
- Top with 6 slices of your favorite cheese.
- Set the top half of the rolls back over the cheese layer.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds for that classic burger bun look.
- Place the whole assembled slider loaf on a baking sheet and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is a bit toasted.
- Slice into 12 sliders and serve them up warm!
Twin Tips
- Make it your own: Add bacon, pickles, or even a little BBQ sauce between the beef and cheese!
- Swap the cheese: We love cheddar, but pepper jack adds a little kick!
Happy Cooking!
