Cheeseburger sliders

Halved the recipe and made it in my cast iron. Kids didn’t want anything but the meat, which was hard to separate, so I’ll do it differently next time. Super tasty though, and reheated well for lunch the next day! I sautéed the onions with mushrooms, had some on burgers and some on the side.

Ingredients

for 12 sliders

• 2 lb ground beef
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons pepper
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• ½ white onion, diced
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• 12 dinner rolls, or hawaiian sweet rolls
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Combine the beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) rimmed baking dish, mixing thoroughly, then pressing into a flat, even layer. Bake for 20 minutes. Drain the liquid and set the cooked beef aside.
3. Slice the rolls in half lengthwise. Place the bottom half in the same baking dish. Place the cooked beef on the rolls, followed by the onions and cheese. Top with the remaining rolls.
4. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle the sesame seeds on top. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
5. Slice into individual sliders, then serve.
6. Enjoy!
