Ingredients
Scale
Burger Sliders
- 1 (12-count) package King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- American cheese slices
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Frozen onion rings (cooked according to package directions)
Homemade Burger Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup ketchup
- â…› cup mustard
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook Onion Rings: Prepare the frozen onion rings according to the package directions until they are crispy and fully cooked. Set them aside.
- Brown Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef along with the chopped onion. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Cook the beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned through. Drain any excess grease and stir in the minced garlic for added flavor. Remove from heat.
- Assemble Sliders: Slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in a greased baking dish or on a sheet pan. Layer each roll bottom with a slice of American cheese, then add a generous scoop of the cooked ground beef mixture. Spread homemade burger sauce over the beef, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and place a crispy onion ring over the cheese. Finish by placing the top halves of the rolls over the layered ingredients.
- Bake: Brush the tops of the assembled sliders with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds evenly on top for a beautiful golden finish. Bake the sliders in a preheated oven at 350°F (177°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
Notes
- You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Make sure to properly drain the cooked ground beef to avoid soggy sliders.
- For extra crispy onion rings, double fry them or cook longer following package instructions.
- These sliders are perfect for parties—keep them warm in a low oven until serving.
- Feel free to add pickles or lettuce inside the sliders for additional crunch and freshness.
