Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 pack Hawaiian rolls
- 4 slices American cheese
- 4-5 tablespoons mayonnaise or room-temperature butter
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 20 pickle rounds
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, brown the beef, seasoning with salt and pepper. Drain the grease, reserving 1 tablespoon in the skillet, and put the cooked beef in a bowl.
- Return the skillet to the heat and add the diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until you see a little color on the onions, then add them to the bowl with the beef.
- Next, add the ketchup and BBQ sauce to the bowl of beef and onions and stir to combine. Then add the shredded cheddar and mix until fully incorporated.
- Unpackage the rolls, reserving the paper tray they come in. Leaving all the rolls connected, split them in half by drawing a bread knife through the middle horizontally. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or butter on both sides to create a moisture barrier.
- Set the roll's bottom half back into the paper tray, then onto a sheet pan. Place an even layer of cheese slices on the bottom, breaking them apart if needed to fit the space.
- Spread the beef mixture evenly over the cheese slices, then drizzle on the yellow mustard. Add the sliced pickle rounds and then the top of the rolls.
- Brush the top with melted butter and then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese has fully melted and the top is toasted.
- Before removing from the tray, slice at the creases through to the bottom using a steak knife or other smaller serrated knife. Then, open the corners of the tray and push all the sliders onto a serving platter.
