Cheeseburger Sliders Recipe
This Cheeseburger Sliders Recipe combines juicy seasoned ground beef, melted cheddar cheese, soft dinner rolls, and a buttery sesame seed topping.
Ingredients
- 2 pound Lean ground beef, (90/10 or 93/7 fat content)
- 1/2 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 large Finely diced yellow onion
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 8 slices Medium cheddar cheese
- 6 ounces Shredded medium cheddar
- 24 Dinner rolls, (or use 2 packs of 12)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly butter the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add ½ tablespoon of olive oil.
- Toss in the diced onion and 2 pounds of ground beef. Use a spatula to break up the beef into small pieces.
- Season with 1 teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Cook until the beef is just cooked through, then remove the skillet from the heat.
- Tilt the skillet to spoon off and discard any excess fat.
- Stir ¼ cup of mayonnaise into the cooked ground beef until well combined.
- Slice the dinner rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet.
- Layer the bottom halves with sliced cheese, then spread the ground beef mixture evenly over the cheese. Use the back of a spatula to shape the beef into a neat, even layer.
- Top the beef with 6 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Place the top halves of the rolls over the beef and cheese, cut side down.
- Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
- Bake at 350°F for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
