Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large rimmed baking sheet with butter.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté finely diced onion until softened.
  • Add ground beef, break up with spatula, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Cook beef thoroughly over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until no pink remains.
  • Tilt skillet and carefully discard excess fat and liquid to prevent soggy sliders.
  • Remove skillet from heat and stir mayonnaise into the cooked beef mixture for moisture.
  • Slice the dinner rolls horizontally in half using a sharp knife.
  • Place bottom halves of rolls in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Arrange sliced cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom buns.
  • Spread the seasoned ground beef mixture evenly over the cheese layer, squaring off edges.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef layer.
  • Place the top halves of the rolls cut-side down snugly over the assembled sliders.
  • Brush melted butter over the tops of the rolls and immediately sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  • Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and tops are golden and toasted.
  • Remove from oven and slice sliders into individual portions along roll lines; serve warm.

Notes

  • Drain cooked beef fat thoroughly to avoid soggy sliders.
  • Use two cheese layers to lock in moisture and flavor.
  • Brush butter and sprinkle sesame seeds immediately for best adherence.
  • Store leftovers in airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in oven or microwave for best texture.
