# What You'll Need:
→ Burger Components
01 -
1 pound lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7 fat ratio)
02 -
12 slices American cheese
→ Buns and Toppings
03 -
12 Hawaiian dinner rolls
04 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
05 -
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
→ Condiments
06 -
Mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard (optional, as desired)
07 -
Sliced onion (optional)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 -
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart. Drain excess fat thoroughly to avoid soggy buns.
03 -
Slice the dinner rolls horizontally. Arrange the bottom halves on the baking sheet and layer half the cheese slices on the bottom buns.
04 -
Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the cheese layer, then top with the remaining cheese slices to seal in juiciness.
05 -
Place the top halves of the rolls on the cheeseburger stacks, pressing gently.
06 -
Brush melted butter on the slider tops and sprinkle with sesame seeds to adhere. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and buns are slightly toasted.
07 -
Remove sliders from the oven and let cool briefly before serving. Accompany with pickles or preferred condiments.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
For meal prep, assemble sliders a day in advance, refrigerate covered, and add 3 extra minutes when baking from chilled.
02 -
Microwave individual sliders uncovered 15-20 seconds for quick reheating while preserving juiciness.
