Sliders are the easiest way to feed a game-day crowd. Instead of shaping a dozen tiny patties, the beef is pressed into one thin layer, baked, then sandwiched in a whole slab of sweet rolls with cheese.
Brushed with garlic butter and sesame seeds, they come out golden and are easy to pull apart.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 (12 count) package sweet Hawaiian-style rolls, unseparated
- 8 slices Cheddar or American cheese
- Dill pickle slices, ketchup and mustard
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Bake the beef. Heat the oven to 400°F. Mix the beef, onion, salt, pepper and garlic powder and press into an even layer in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until cooked through (160°F). Drain.
- Assemble. Slice the slab of rolls in half horizontally. Set the bottom half in a clean baking dish, top with half the cheese, the beef, the remaining cheese and pickles. Add the top half of the rolls.
- Top and bake. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake 10 to 12 minutes, until golden and the cheese is melted.
- Serve. Cut into individual sliders and serve with ketchup and mustard.
Tips
- Lift the cooked beef out of its pan with two spatulas to keep it in one sheet.
- Add a spread of burger sauce on the bottom rolls.
