Ingredients

Scale

Ground Beef Mixture

  • 1/2 pound (8 oz) Ground Beef, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Cheese

  • 8 Slices Cheddar Cheese

Rolls and Toppings

  • Sweet Hawaiian Dinner Rolls
  • 1 Tablespoon Melted Butter
  • 1 Teaspoon Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for toasting the sliders later.
  2. Prepare Rolls: Using a kitchen knife, carefully slice the sweet Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to create the top and bottom pieces for each slider.
  3. Assemble Bottom Layer: Place the bottom halves of the Hawaiian rolls evenly in an 8 x 8-inch baking dish, creating the base layer for your sliders.
  4. Add Cheese Layer: Lay 4 slices of cheddar cheese over the bottom halves of the rolls, covering them as the first cheese layer.
  5. Add Ground Beef: Evenly distribute the cooked and crumbled ground beef over the cheese layer, spreading it out to cover the surface.
  6. Season and Add Cheese: Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper over the ground beef to taste, then add the remaining 4 slices of cheddar cheese on top of the meat layer.
  7. Top with Rolls: Place the top halves of the Hawaiian rolls over the cheese and meat layers, pressing down gently to keep the sliders together.
  8. Butter and Sesame: Brush the top of the rolls generously with melted butter using a silicone brush, then sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the top for added flavor and texture.
  9. Bake Sliders: Put the assembled sliders into your preheated toaster oven or conventional oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the rolls are browned and the cheese is fully melted.

Notes

  • You can use a conventional oven if you do not have a toaster oven; just keep an eye on the sliders to prevent over-browning.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding pickles, ketchup, or mustard before baking.
  • If you prefer a spicier slider, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the ground beef.
  • Using a high-quality cheddar cheese enhances the flavor and melts better.
  • Make sure to cook the ground beef thoroughly before assembling the sliders.
