Equipment

2 sheet pans
nonstick spray

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 package King's Hawaiian Rolls 12 each - sweet or savory
10 slices American Cheese
3 tablespoons salted butter
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl combine the beef and spices, mix by hand to combine.
1 pound ground beef, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
On a sheet pan lined with foil and with nonstick spray, press the ground beef mixture into a large rectangle square.
Measure it out so it is large than the shape of the package of rolls. This is so when it cooks and shrinks it will still be close to the edges/size of the rolls.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until internal temperature is 150°F. Set aside to rest and the juices to reabsorb in the meat as much as possible.
Leave the oven on.
Cut the rolls horizontal in the middle. On another sheet pan lined with foil and nonstick spray place the bottom half layer of the rolls.
1 package King's Hawaiian Rolls
Top the rolls with slices of cheese to cover completely. Next goes the ground beef patty and top with another layer of American cheese. Cover with the top half of the rolls.
10 slices American Cheese
In a small microwave-safe bowl melt the butter. Baste the tops and sides of the sliders with the butter. Sprinkle on sesame seeds.
3 tablespoons salted butter, 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until the cheese is melty and the slider tops are golden and warm.
Remove from oven, let rest 3 minutes before slicing.

Notes

SERVING TIPS:

Place on a serving platter or board. Cut and separate slightly so they are easy for people to grab.
Serve with little bowls or bottles of condiments and sauces on the side.
Serve with sliced pickles, shredded iceberg lettuce, or tomato slices.

STORING & REHEATING:

Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Reheat each slider for 20-30 seconds in the microwave or in the air fryer/toaster oven/oven at 400°F for 5 minutes.

SUBSTITIONS & VARIATIONS:

Use ground chicken or turkey instead of beef. Make sure the patty reaches a safe 165°F when cooking.
