Indulgent Cheeseburger Slider Bake Ingredients

01 2 packages (17 ounces each) Hawaiian sweet rolls.

02 22 slices American or cheddar cheese, divided.

03 2 pounds ground beef.

04 1 cup chopped onion.

05 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, drained.

06 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.

07 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.

08 3/4 teaspoon salt.

09 3/4 teaspoon pepper.

10 24 bacon strips, cooked and broken into 1-inch pieces.

11 1 cup butter, cubed.

12 1/4 cup packed brown sugar.

13 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce.

14 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard.

15 2 tablespoons sesame seeds.

Indulgent Cheeseburger Slider Bake Step By Step

Step 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.

Step 02

In a skillet, cook beef and onions until browned; drain excess grease. Mix in tomatoes, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, cooking briefly.

Step 03

Spoon the beef mixture over the cheesy rolls, add bacon pieces, and cover with remaining cheese and roll tops.

Step 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.

Step 05

Bake the sliders until they are golden brown and heated through, about 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

Use Hawaiian sweet rolls for a slightly sweet and soft texture.
Adjust the amount of cheese to your preference; more will make it gooier.
Cooking the beef until no pink remains ensures its safely done.
The glaze adds a rich, flavorful coating to the top of the sliders.
Bacon adds a smoky flavor and crunch to complement the beef and cheese.
