Ingredients
- 1½ lb 90% lean ground beef
- 3/4 cup onion
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp paprika
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 12 count Hawaiian rolls
- 9 slices cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 1½ tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 count bagged salad kit
Steps
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Brown the beef with the diced onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper until no pink remains and it reaches 160°F, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, then stir in the ketchup and mustard.
- Without pulling the rolls apart, slice the whole slab in half across. Set the bottom half in a baking dish.
- Layer the cheese slices, the beef, then the shredded cheddar on the bottom half and cover with the top half.
- Brush the tops with melted butter, sprinkle sesame seeds, cover with foil and bake 15 minutes; uncover and bake 5 more until golden and melty.
- Cut into sliders and serve with the salad.
- Picky eaters can have a plain roll with a slice of cheese and the beef on the side.
- Make ahead: assemble through step 3, cover and chill up to 1 day, then add the butter and seeds and bake, adding 5 minutes.
On the side: Cucumber salad (5 min)
3 cucumbers, 1 bottle rice vinegar
- Thinly slice the cucumbers. Toss with a splash of rice vinegar, a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt.
