Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls or potato rolls
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 6 slices American cheese, cut in half
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle slices
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the entire sheet of rolls in half horizontally to create a top and bottom slab. Place the bottom slab in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp onion powder. Cook until no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  3. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, paprika, 1 tsp onion powder, and garlic powder to make the special sauce.
  4. Spread a generous layer of the special sauce on the bottom slab of rolls. Top evenly with the cooked beef, then the halved cheese slices, pickle slices, and chopped onion. Place the top slab of rolls on.
  5. In another small bowl, mix the melted butter, sesame seeds, and optional everything bagel seasoning. Brush or drizzle this mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls.
  6. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into individual sliders.

Notes

For a leaner option, use ground turkey. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes after baking so they hold together when sliced. The special sauce can be made up to 5 days ahead.
