Ingredients
To craft these delightful sliders, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 6 slices cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
If you’re feeling adventurous, swap the cheddar for a spicy pepper jack or add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef for an extra kick. The beauty of cooking lies in experimentation – a lesson I learned early on, thanks to my mum’s encouraging nods as I explored different flavors.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and ground beef to the skillet, breaking the beef apart with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- While the beef cooks, carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls.
- Once the beef is cooked, spoon it evenly over the mayonnaise and mustard layer. Top with slices of cheese.
- Place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if using.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing into individual sliders.
These simple steps will guide you to a platter of irresistible sliders, each bite a reminder of how rewarding home-cooked meals can be.
