Print Recipe

Delicious sliders made with sweet Hawaiian rolls, seasoned beef, melty cheese, and caramelized onions, perfect for gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs 80/20 ground beef
  • 12-pack Hawaiian rolls
  • 11 slices Colby Jack cheese
  • 1 large sweet onion, diced
  • 24 dill pickles, sliced
  • 6 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1.5 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons pickle juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to broil (high) and line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally and arrange them cut-side up on the sheet.
  3. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and brush it on the inside of every roll.
  4. Broil the buns for 3–4 minutes until golden brown, watching closely to avoid burning.
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  6. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and pepper gently.
  7. Press the meat into an even layer in a 9×13 baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake the beef slab for 20 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
  9. While the beef cooks, heat a skillet over low heat with 1 tablespoon of butter and caramelize the onions for about 15 minutes.
  10. Once the beef is done, drain excess fat and layer pickles on the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
  11. Carefully transfer the beef slab onto the bottom buns, cover with cheese, and scatter caramelized onions on top.
  12. Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter, optionally sprinkling sesame seeds.
  13. Return to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and buns are warmed.
  14. Mix together the mayo, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, and cayenne to make the sauce.
  15. Serve the sliders warm, sliced into individual portions.

Notes

For a spicier kick, swap out the cheese for pepper jack or add jalapeños.
