How to Make Big Mac–Style Cheeseburger Sliders with Hawaiian Rolls

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • ⅓ cup finely diced yellow onion (about 1 small onion)
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup ketchup

  • 4 ounces monterey jack cheese (shredded)
  • 2 (12 count) packages Hawaiian rolls or slider buns
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1-2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 pounds of lean ground beef and ⅓ cup of finely diced yellow onion. Cook until the beef is no longer pink, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.

  4. Slice your 2 (12 count) packages of Hawaiian rolls or slider buns in half horizontally if they are not pre-sliced. Place the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Place 10 slices of cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom buns. Spoon the ground beef mixture evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle shredded monterey jack cheese on top, then place the top halves of the buns onto the sliders.
  6. Melt the 2 Tablespoons of unsalted butter and brush it over the top of the rolls. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese melts and the sliders are warmed through. Slice into individual sliders and serve.
