Ingredients:
- 12 Hawaiian Rolls (1 package of King’s Hawaiian Rolls)
- 1 pound ground beef (or 2 pounds for thicker burgers)
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 6 slices American cheese
Garlic Butter Topping:
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. Prepare the Rolls:
- Take the white tray of buns (if using King’s Hawaiian Rolls) out of the packaging, keeping them intact. Set them aside for now.
3. Prepare the Ground Beef:
- Unroll a sheet of parchment paper, making sure it’s the same size as the tray of rolls. Place the raw ground beef on the parchment paper, and using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten it to match the size of the paper.
- Tip: Ground beef tends to shrink as it cooks, so it’s a good idea to spread it slightly over the edges of the parchment to ensure it fits the rolls after baking.
4. Season the Beef:
- Season the flattened beef evenly with the seasoned salt and black pepper.
5. Bake the Beef:
- Transfer the beef on the parchment paper to a baking sheet. Place it in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through.
6. Assemble the Sliders:
- Once the beef is done, carefully remove it from the oven. Place the entire cooked beef rectangle on top of the rolls, making sure it covers the entire surface.
- Lay the slices of American cheese evenly over the beef. Top with the top halves of the rolls.
7. Garlic Butter Topping:
- Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe dish. Stir in the garlic salt until combined.
- Brush the melted garlic butter mixture over the top of the rolls for extra flavor.
8. Bake the Sliders:
- Place the assembled sliders back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are lightly toasted.
9. Serve:
- Once baked, remove from the oven and slice the sliders along the pre-cut lines of the rolls. Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips:
- Custom Toppings: Feel free to add your favorite burger toppings like pickles, onions, or ketchup before placing the top buns on.
- Thicker Sliders: If you want a thicker burger, use 2 pounds of ground beef and bake for a few extra minutes to ensure it’s fully cooked.
- Garlic Butter Variety: For added flavor, you can sprinkle sesame seeds on top after brushing with garlic butter, giving them a classic burger bun look.
- Freezing: You can make these sliders ahead of time and freeze them. Just assemble, wrap tightly, and freeze. Reheat in the oven before serving.
These Cheeseburger Sliders are a quick and flavorful way to satisfy any burger craving, whether it’s for a casual dinner or a fun party appetizer!
