- rimmed baking sheet
- Large Skillet
- Spatula
- pastry brush
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lb lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7 fat content)
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 large yellow onion finely diced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 8 slices medium cheddar cheese
- 6 oz medium cheddar shredded (or used more sliced cheese)
- 24 dinner rolls (or use 2 packs of 12)
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted, plus more to grease baking sheet
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350˚F and butter the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and diced onion. Cook until softened, then add ground beef, breaking it up. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, cooking until just browned.
- Tilt the skillet to drain any excess fat, then stir 1/4 cup mayonnaise into the cooked ground beef mixture.
- Slice the dinner rolls in half horizontally. Arrange the bottom halves on the buttered baking sheet and layer with the sliced cheddar cheese.
- Evenly spread the ground beef mixture over the cheese layer, using a spatula to square off the edges. Top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Place the top halves of the buns over the cheeseburger mixture. Brush the tops with 2 Tbsp melted butter and immediately sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture. These sliders are great for meal prepping and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
