Slider Ingredients
- 12 King’s Hawaiian Original Rolls
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 oz sliced white mushrooms
- ½ white onion, diced
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- Sesame seeds for garnishing
Instructions
- Prepare the meat mixture: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly until just combined.
- Cook the beef patty: Press the meat mixture evenly into the bottom of a 10 x 6-inch baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes until cooked through. Once done, carefully drain any excess liquid and transfer the meat patty to a bed of paper towels to remove remaining moisture.
- Sauté mushrooms and onions: While the meat cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onions, cooking for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls: Using a serrated bread knife, carefully slice the entire batch of Hawaiian rolls horizontally into two equal halves, creating a top and bottom layer without separating the individual rolls.
- Assemble the sliders: Place the cooked beef patty on the bottom half of the rolls. Evenly spread the sautéed mushroom and onion mixture over the meat. Layer the Swiss cheese slices on top.
- Prepare the tops: Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Use a silicone brush to coat the tops of the rolls with the melted butter, then sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for garnish.
- Bake the sliders: Place the assembled sliders in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and the buns turn golden brown and toasted. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can substitute white mushrooms for cremini or baby bella mushrooms for a deeper flavor.
- To make these sliders spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños to the mushroom mixture.
- Make sure to press the ground beef firmly in the pan to create an even patty layer for easy serving.
- Using King’s Hawaiian rolls adds a deliciously sweet contrast to the savory sliders, but any soft dinner rolls will work.
- For extra flavor, melt the butter with a little garlic powder before brushing on the buns.
