Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 tablespoons minced dried onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- 3–4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 5 slices sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 package Hawaiian rolls (12 rolls)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides, or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the ground beef and break it apart with a spatula.
- Stir in:
- Dried onions
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
- Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked through.
- Drain excess grease if needed.
- Stir mayonnaise into the beef mixture until combined.
- Using a serrated knife, slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally while keeping the rolls connected.
- Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the beef mixture evenly over the rolls.
- Layer cheese slices on top of the beef.
- Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Lift sliders out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into individual sliders.
- Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or favorite burger sauces.
Notes
- Draining excess grease helps keep the buns from getting soggy.
- Sliders can be assembled ahead and refrigerated before baking.
- Add toppings like pickles, caramelized onions, bacon, or burger sauce for extra flavor.
- Hawaiian rolls add sweetness, but any soft slider buns will work.
