Ingredients

Scale

1 medium yellow or red onion
6 ounces medium cheddar cheese (about 1 1/2 cups shredded)
3 teaspoons neutral oil, such as canola or vegetable, divided
1 pound lean ground beef
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (12-ounce) package Hawaiian sweet rolls, such as King’s
8 slices American cheese
1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil
2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
Burger sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 to 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the Oven Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat it to 350°F.
Prepare the Ingredients Halve and thinly slice the onion. Grate the cheddar cheese if it’s not pre-shredded.
Cook the Onions Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the onions and cook until charred in spots, about 4 to 6 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
Cook the Beef Reduce the skillet heat to medium-high. Add the remaining oil and the ground beef. Break the beef into small pieces and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Assemble the Sliders Without separating the rolls, cut the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in a small rimmed baking sheet. Layer with American cheese, cooked onions, beef mixture, shredded cheese, and dill pickles. Top with the other half of the rolls.
Final Touches and Bake Brush the rolls with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes, then uncover and bake until the cheese is melted and the tops are toasted, about 12-15 more minutes.
Prepare the Burger Sauce While the sliders bake, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, and mustard in a bowl. Adjust flavors with salt and pepper.
