These maid rite sliders are a secret recipe that the Midwest has been keeping from the rest of us apparently!

This was a recipe that I’ve never hear about before I made them for myself.
I was lucky enough to get this recipe from a friend who told me that I had to try them and I’m so happy that I did!

They are so incredibly delicious and were a huge hit in my house. Especially with my kids.
The ground beef and Hawaiian rolls get such a nice, sweet flavor from the brown sugar giving it a truly unique taste.
I just couldn’t love these incredible sliders more and I’m so happy to share this recipe with you.

These would be perfect for a busy weekday dinner, lunch, snack or served to a crown for a game day watch party
I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I’m sure you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Maid Rite Slider Variations
This is a copycat recipe so deviations from the original recipe are going to give you a different result. But, here are some ways to switch it up if you’d like to.

- Beef- you can swap the ground beef out for ground chicken or turkey.
- Rolls- any kid of rolls would work here if you’d prefer to use something else.
- Cheese- choose whatever kind of cheese you’d like.
- Seasoning- add some hot pepper flakes or Tabasco to add some heat to this dish. Also, feel free to add whatever additional seasonings that you’d like, too.

Maid Rite Slider Ingredients

- Ground beef
- Minced onion
- American cheese
- Water
- Beef bullion
- White vinegar
- Worcestershire sauce
- Dill Pickle Chips
- Kings Hawaiian Rolls
- Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Dijon Mustard
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°
First, cook the ground beef and minced onion together in a large skillet. Break the beef down into small pieces while it’s browning.

Then drain the fat and add the bullion, water, brown sugar, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.

Now simmer that together over low heat until the liquid has cooked out.

Next, cut the Hawaiian rolls horizontally down the middle and evenly spread the ground beef mixture out over the top of the bottom half.

Now cover the ground beef with American cheese slices and a pickle. Try to position the pickle slices in the center of each burger bun.

Then mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard.

Next, put the top half of the Hawaiian rolls back on top and spread the butter mixture on top.

Finally, bake it covered for about 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve warm and enjoy!

The tops may look super brown but I promise you they’re not burnt. I left them in for a couple minutes over the time I was supposed to and between the brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce, they became a deep brown color.
