Ingredients

12 slider rolls
1 pound ground beef

1/2 onion, diced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper, to taste
6 slices American cheese

1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon mustard
12 dill pickle slices

2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook, breaking up the beef and stirring frequently, until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in a baking dish. Layer the cooked beef evenly over the bottoms, followed by the American cheese slices and dill pickle slices.

Step 4: Spread ketchup and mustard evenly on the inside of the top roll halves. Place them over the assembled bottoms to form the sliders.
Step 5: Combine garlic salt with the melted butter and brush this mixture over the tops of the sliders. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if using.
Step 6: Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika or chili powder to the beef while cooking.
Swap American cheese for cheddar or pepper jack for a different twist.
Try adding caramelized onions or crispy bacon for more savory depth.

Use mini Hawaiian rolls for a sweeter bite and authentic slider experience.
Brush the tops with a bit of honey mixed with the butter for a touch of sweetness.

Storage

Store leftover sliders covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap them in foil and warm in a 350˚F oven for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted. Avoid microwaving as it may make the rolls soggy.
