1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.

24 bacon strips, cooked and broken into 1-inch pieces.

1/4 cup packed brown sugar.
13 -
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce.
14 -
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard.

2 tablespoons sesame seeds.
Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350° F. Cut the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half without separating them and place the bottom halves in greased pans. Layer with slices of cheese and melt in the oven for 3-5 minutes.
02 -
In a skillet, cook beef and onions until browned; drain excess grease. Mix in tomatoes, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, cooking briefly.
03 -
Spoon the beef mixture over the cheesy rolls, add bacon pieces, and cover with remaining cheese and roll tops.
04 -
For the glaze, combine butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard in a bowl. Microwave until the butter melts. Drizzle or brush the mixture over the roll tops, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
05 -
Bake the sliders until they are golden brown and heated through, about 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes:
01 -
Use Hawaiian sweet rolls for a slightly sweet and soft texture.
02 -
Adjust the amount of cheese to your preference; more will make it gooier.
03 -
Cooking the beef until no pink remains ensures its safely done.
04 -
The glaze adds a rich, flavorful coating to the top of the sliders.
05 -
Bacon adds a smoky flavor and crunch to complement the beef and cheese.
