Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lb lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7 fat content) Ground beef provides the main protein source.
  • 1/2 Tbsp olive oil Used to sauté onions.
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 large yellow onion (finely diced) Provides flavor to the beef mixture.
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise Adds creaminess to the sliders.
  • 8 slices medium cheddar cheese Used for layering.
  • 6 oz medium cheddar (shredded) For topping the sliders.
  • 24 dinner rolls or use 2 packs of 12 Acts as the bun for sliders.
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted) For brushing the tops of the sliders.
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds For garnishing the sliders.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350˚F and butter the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1/2 Tbsp olive oil. Add the diced onion, followed by the ground beef, breaking it up as you go.
  3. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, cooking until the beef is no longer pink.
  4. Spoon off any excess fat, then stir in mayonnaise to keep it creamy.
  5. Cut the buns in half and place the bottom halves on the baking sheet with sliced cheese on top.
  6. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the cheese, followed by a generous sprinkling of shredded cheddar.
  7. Place the top halves of the buns cut-side down over the mixture.
  8. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds for that extra flair.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.

Notes

These sliders can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container. For long-term storage, freeze them for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for the best texture. Variations include adding different cheeses or toppings based on personal preference.
