Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs lean ground beef (85% lean recommended)
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ white onion diced
  • 12 slider-sized Hawaiian rolls (1 package)
  • 12 (¾ oz.) cheese snack bars (any flavor)
  • For the Glaze (Optional):
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tbsp sesame seeds plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine the ground beef, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
  3. Press the seasoned beef into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a flat, even layer.
  4. Bake the beef for 20 minutes. Drain any liquid that accumulates and set the beef aside.
  5. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise. Place the bottom half of the rolls in a lined baking pan.
  6. Top the bottom half of the rolls with the cooked ground beef layer.
  7. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  8. Top the beef with the cooked onions, the cheese bars, and then the top half of the buns.
  9. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, ½ tsp kosher salt, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and ½ tbsp sesame seeds for the topping.
  10. Brush the top of the rolls liberally with the butter mixture and sprinkle with extra sesame seeds for garnish.
  11. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
  12. Slice the bake into individual sliders and serve hot.

Notes

  • Check the internal temperature of the meat in the center of the pan with an instant-read thermometer to confirm doneness.
