Hamburger Sliders with Cheese
Description
This recipe uses 80% lean ground beef cooked with dry onion soup mix to add savory notes without creating a soup. Once cooked and drained, the beef is mixed with mayonnaise and shredded sharp cheddar cheese to add creaminess and sharpness. Hawaiian dinner rolls are sliced in half and layered as a single large sandwich: the beef mixture spread evenly on the bottom halves, then the top halves replaced to create a slab of sliders.
A butter glaze brushed atop combines melted butter, dried minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard to add moisture and tangy, umami-rich flavor. Wrapping the sliders in foil before baking helps meld the flavors and soften the roll, resulting in an evenly heated, cohesive dish. Serving with sliced dill pickles adds a bright, crisp contrast.
This recipe is practical for small or large groups, and doubling the ingredients is straightforward. Using the dry onion soup mix saves from making a separate sauce and keeps the beef juicy. The baked sliders have a tender roll exterior and moist, flavorful filling. They make a convenient finger food or part of a casual meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 80% lean
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons onion soup mix 1/2 package onion soup mix
- 1 package Hawaiian dinner roll 12
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded, sharp
For the butter glaze
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon onion minced dried
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- dill pickles to serve with, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and DRY onion soup mix.*
- When the meat is browned, drain the fat.
- Transfer the ground beef to a bowl and let cool a bit.
- Meanwhile, remove the rolls from the package and discard the cardboard.
- Spray a large sheet of aluminum foil generously with nonstick spray.
- Use a serrated knife to slice the rolls in half so that they have a "top" and a "bottom." Do not separate them into individual rolls. Place the "bottoms" onto the aluminum foil that has been sprayed.
- Stir the mayonnaise and cheddar cheese into the ground beef.
- Spread the beef mixture all over the bottom half of the rolls. Replace the top half of the rolls to make one giant sandwich.
- In a small bowl, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add the minced onions, Worcestershire sauce, and dijon. Stir it together, then use a pastry brush to coat the top of each roll with the butter mixture.
- Wrap the sliders in foil; fold up the one that it's sitting on, then spray more foil and cover the top.
- Place the foil-wrapped sliders directly on the middle oven rack. (No sheet pan is necessary. It makes the bottoms get too crispy.)
- Bake for about 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve with plenty of dill pickles!
- I don't think these sliders need any sort of dipping sauce honestly, but if you are feeling like you want to dip, mix together 1 part mayo and 1 part ketchup. Serve with the sliders.
Notes
- Use only the dry half of an onion soup mix package to flavor the beef; the wet mix is not required.
- For larger groups, double the recipe and use a whole package of onion soup mix for 2 pounds of ground beef.
- Serve with sliced dill pickles to add a crisp, tangy contrast to the rich sliders.
