Sliders

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef, (90/10 or 93/7 fat content) Review

• 12 dinner rolls (Hawaiian)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, plus more to grease baking sheet
• 1/2 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
2. Place a large skillet over medium/high heat with the olive oil. Add diced onion then ground beef and break up with a spatula. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Sautee over medium/high heat, breaking up the beef and cook just until cooked through then remove from heat.
3. Tilt skillet to spoon off and discard excess fat. Stir mayo into the ground beef.
4. Cut buns in half. Place bottom half of dinner rolls on lined baking sheet and line bread with sliced cheese. Spread ground beef mixture evenly over the sliced cheese, using the back of a spatula to square off the edges. Cover the ground beef with shredded cheddar.
5. Place the top of buns, cut-side down, over the burgers. Brush tops with melted butter and immediately sprinkle tops with sesame seeds. Bake at 350˚F for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown.

Make Ahead:

1. Sliders can be pre-made a day ahead then covered and refrigerated. If baking from chilled sliders, add an extra 3 minutes or so when baking, or until hot and the cheese is melted.
