Ingredients

For the Sliders:

  • 1 ½ lbs ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder (optional)
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese)
  • 12 Hawaiian rolls (or soft dinner rolls)

For the Garlic Butter Topping:

  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp parsley, chopped
  • ½ tsp sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Meat

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Press the seasoned beef into a 9×13-inch baking dish or baking sheet, forming an even layer.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the beef is fully cooked. Drain excess grease.

Step 2: Add the Cheese

  1. While the beef is still hot, layer slices of cheese on top.
  2. Return the beef to the oven for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese melts.

Step 3: Assemble the Sliders

  1. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half, keeping them connected.
  2. Place the cheesy beef layer on the bottom half of the rolls.
  3. Top with the upper half of the buns.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter

  1. Melt butter and mix it with minced garlic and parsley.
  2. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the buns.
  3. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for extra crunch.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  1. Cover the sliders with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes to get the tops golden brown.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

Use a knife to cut the sliders apart and serve them hot. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces!
