Cheeseburger Sliders
Cheeseburger Sliders stars juicy ground beef topped with two kinds of gooey melted cheese that are served on savory rolls brushed with garlicky melted butter.
Servings: 12 sliders
Ingredients
For the Ground Beef:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1½ teaspoons Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the Burgers:
- 1 package dinner rolls, 12 count (I used Hawaiian Savory Butter Rolls)
- 8 slices American cheese
- 8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon white and black sesame seeds, optional
Instructions
Prepare the Ground Beef:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
- Stir in the minced garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Burgers:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Slice the dinner rolls in half horizontally, keeping them intact - do not separate them. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
- Layer American cheese slices evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
- Spread the prepared ground beef evenly over the American cheese layer.
- Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the ground beef layer.
- Place the top half of the dinner rolls over the cheese layer.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the top of the rolls.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
- Once done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Arrange them on a serving platter and serve warm.
