Cheeseburger Sliders
Directions
- 1Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
- 2Add 1/2 of a finely diced yellow onion and stir for about 30 seconds.
- 3Add 2 pounds of lean ground beef and break it up into small pieces using a firm spatula.
- 4Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- 5Continue sautéing until the beef is just cooked through; then turn off the heat and spoon out any excess fat or liquid.
- 6With the heat off, stir in 1/4 cup of real mayonnaise.
- 7Shred 6 ounces of medium cheddar cheese on the large holes of a box grater.
- 8Cut a 24-pack of dinner rolls in half with a long serrated knife.
- 9Butter the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet, place the bottom half of the dinner rolls on it, and line the cut side of the bread with sliced cheese.
- 10Spread the ground beef mixture evenly over the sliced cheese, using a spatula to straighten off the edges.
- 11Cover that ground beef with 6 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese.
- 12Place the top half of the buns over the cheese, brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
- 13Bake on the center rack of the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or 18 minutes if refrigerated beforehand, or until the cheese is melted.
- 14Cut the sliders along the rows of buns.
