Let’s be honest: regular burgers are great, but sliders are dangerous. Same juicy, cheesy satisfaction in a two-bite package. You’ll eat four before you realize what happened.
These use Hawaiian rolls (non-negotiable), a genius whole-sheet pan method, and that signature buttery, seedy topping. No flipping individual patties. Just pure, crowd-pleasing magic.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the Buns
Keep the 12 Hawaiian rolls connected. Slice the entire slab horizontally in one cut.
Place the bottom half in a 9×13 baking dish.
Cook the Beef
Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Break it into small crumbles.
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Drain excess grease.
Assemble
Spread the cooked beef evenly over the bottom bun slab.
Layer cheese slices on top. Add pickles.
Place the top bun slab back on.
Butter & Bake
Mix melted butter with mustard and seasonings. Brush over the tops.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden and cheese is gooey.
Serve
Let rest 2 minutes. Slice into 12 individual sliders.
Serve warm. Watch them disappear.

Storage Notes
Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes (microwave makes buns chewy). These freeze well too—wrap individually and reheat from frozen for 10 minutes.
