🛒 Ingredients

For the sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

For the sliders:

  • 12 Hawaiian dinner rolls (or slider buns)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese, halved

Optional toppings:

  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Pickles

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and sesame seeds. Set aside.

2. Prep the rolls
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom half in a greased baking dish and spread mayonnaise on the top half.

3. Cook the beef
In a bowl, mix ground beef, BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper. Form into 12 small patties. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side, until no longer pink.

4. Assemble sliders
Place one patty on each roll. Add cheese slices, then place the top half of the rolls over the patties.

5. Add the sauce
Pour the prepared butter sauce evenly over the sliders. Let sit for about 10 minutes so the rolls absorb the flavor.

6. Bake
Cover with foil and bake for 10–15 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 2 minutes until the tops are golden.

7. Serve
Add your favorite toppings and serve warm.

  • Keep the rolls connected for easier assembly
  • Don’t overmix the beef to keep it juicy
