Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- ¼ cup mayo
- 1½ Tbsp ketchup
- 1 Tbsp sweet pickle relish
- ½ tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
For the Sliders:
- 1½ lbs ground chuck
- ½ Tbsp Lawry’s seasoning salt
- 12 King’s Hawaiian rolls
- Cheddar cheese slices
- Chopped bacon
- Dill pickles
- Finely chopped red onion (optional)
For the Topping:
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Sesame seeds (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Layer
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground chuck with Lawry’s seasoning. Be careful not to overmix.
- Press the beef evenly into a greased 9×13 baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
Step 2: Assemble the Sliders
- While the beef is baking, slice the King’s Hawaiian Rolls in half horizontally, placing the bottom halves in another greased baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix together all the sauce ingredients and set aside half of it. Generously spread the remaining half on the tops of the rolls and set aside.
- Once the beef is done, use two spatulas to lift it from the dish, draining any excess grease. Place the patty on top of the bottom buns.
Step 3: Layer the Goodness
- Top the beef layer with cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, and dill pickles. If you prefer, add finely chopped red onion.
- Place the top buns on the assembly.
Step 4: Finish with the Butter Glaze
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and Worcestershire sauce. Pour it evenly over the sliders.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes, or until golden and melty.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
- Slice the sliders and serve hot. Don’t forget to offer the extra sauce for dipping and some pickle chips on the side!
