How To Make It

Here's how to make these amazing sliders. You can find the full ingredients list along with instructions on the recipe card below.

Preheat the oven to 350°

First, in a large skillet over medium high heat, brown the ground beef and break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain the fat from the pan once the beef is cooked all the way through. With the skillet off, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt and pepper and shredded cheddar cheese until everything is evenly combined.

PRO TIP: Be sure to shred the cheese yourself and avoid the pre-shredded stuff that comes in a bag. It will melt much better that way.

Now, slice the package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally and place the top half off to the side keeping the rolls intact. On the bottom portion of the Hawaiian rolls, add the American cheese slices side by side making sure the cheese covers the rolls completely. Then, add the ground beef to the top of the cheese spreading it out evenly. Place more slices of American cheese covering the beef.

PRO TIP: Adding the cheese to the bottom will create a barrier and prevent the bottom of the rolls from getting soggy.

After that, add the top portion of the Hawaiian rolls. Melt the butter and brush it on top of the rolls and immediately sprinkle them with sesame seeds. Finally, cover it with tin foil and bake at 350° for about 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Cut into individual pieces, serve warm and enjoy.

Can This Be Made Ahead Of Time?

Yes, you can make these up to a day or two ahead. Put them together as the directions say but do not add the melted butter topping until right before you're planning to bake them.

What Should I Serve These With?

These sliders would be great with some Hawaiian Macaroni Salad, Garlic Parmesan French Fries of a simple side salad.

Storage

Let the sliders cool completely and place them into a food safe air tight container. They will last in the fridge for up to three days.
