12 count 1 pack	Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
0.5 cup 75 g	Yellow Onion, finely diced
6 slices 150 g	Cheddar Cheese Slices

How to Make Mini Cheeseburger Sliders

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and diced onions until the beef is fully cooked. Drain the excess grease.

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and half of the garlic powder into the beef mixture.

Without pulling the rolls apart, slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to create a top and bottom slab.

Place the bottom half of the rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the rolls.

Layer the cheddar cheese slices over the beef, then place the top half of the rolls back on.

Mix the melted butter with the remaining garlic powder. Brush the tops of the rolls generously with the butter mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Cover with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.

Slice into individual sliders and serve warm.

·
Use 80/20 ground beef for the best flavor and juiciness.
·
Add a layer of pickles or burger sauce inside the sliders before baking for an extra tang.
·
To keep the bottoms from getting soggy, you can lightly toast the inner side of the bottom rolls before adding the meat.
·
If you prefer a crispier top, skip the foil for the last 5 minutes of baking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

You can prepare the beef filling a day in advance. Assemble and bake the sliders just before serving to ensure the bread stays fresh and the cheese is melty.

What can I use instead of Hawaiian rolls?

Brioche slider buns or small dinner rolls work perfectly as a substitute.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain the texture of the bread.

Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

Yes, ground turkey or chicken works well. Just ensure you add a little extra seasoning as poultry is leaner and milder than beef.
