Our easy-to-follow recipe for juicy cheeseburger Game Day Sliders with Hawaiian rolls brings you classic flavors without the fuss. Perfect for a game day crowd, appetizer, snack, or simple weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Beef mixture, Note 1

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound lean ground beef (10% fat) or medium ground beef (20% fat)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (regular or light)
2 tablespoons BBQ sauce (or ketchup)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Topping for rolls, Note 2

2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar (or maple syrup)
2 teaspoons sesame seeds (or Everything Bagel Seasoning)

Rolls and cheese

12 Hawaiian rolls (1 package), Note 3
8 slices cheddar cheese, Note 4 or 6-8 ounces shredded cheese
1 tablespoon soft butter (to spread on pan)

Instructions

1- HEAT OVEN TO 350F/177C. Line a baking dish or sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil (sprayed with oil).

TIP: If you want the sliders to have buttery slightly crispy bottoms, spread a thin layer of soft butter directly on the pan surface.

2- MAKE GOUND BEEF MIXTURE: Heat oil in a large skillet to medium-high heat. Add onions and saute for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Add ground beef, chop it up with a spatula and cook until most or all of the pink disappears, about 3 minutes.

Turn off heat. TIP: Move mixture to one side of skillet, tip skillet toward you and spoon off the excess grease to prevent soggy sliders (or mop grease with paper towel). Mix in mayo, BBQ sauce and seasonings. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

3- PREPARE AND ASSEMBLE SLIDERS: Cut rolls in half horizontally, keeping rolls intact (don’t separate them). On the bottom half, lay slices of cheese to cover rolls, add beef mixture on top, then another layer of cheese slices.

Place top half of the rolls back over the top. To summarize, the layers from the bottom up are: bottom half of rolls…cheese…beef…cheese…top half of rolls.

4- GLAZE, BAKE, SERVE: In a small microwaveable bowl, add butter, Dijon and brown sugar. Microwave for 25 seconds and stir well to combine. Brush glaze on tops of the rolls. Immediately sprinkle on sesame seeds so they will stick.

Place on a buttered or lined pan. Bake in preheated oven, uncovered for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven, cut into individual sliders along roll lines with a serrated knife, and serve immediately.

▢1 ½ tablespoons dried onion soup mix
▢1 packet au jus gravy mix
▢3 cups water
