Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 packet (1 oz) onion soup mix
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 pack (12 count) slider rolls (Hawaiian or Brioche)
  • 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle slices (patted dry)
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 9x13-inch rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix until just combined.
  3. Press the beef mixture into the prepared 9x13 pan, spreading it into a flat, even layer. Bake for 15 minutes.
  4. Carefully drain the rendered fat from the pan once the meat is cooked. Remove the beef patty from the pan and set aside on a clean plate. Reserve the parchment-lined pan for later if it's still clean, or prepare a separate baking sheet for the buns.
  5. Slice the entire pack of slider rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves on a clean baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5 minutes until golden.
  6. Spread yellow mustard over the toasted bottom buns, then layer with 4 slices of cheddar cheese.
  7. Place the cooked beef patty onto the cheese-covered bottom buns. Top with dill pickles and the remaining 4 slices of cheese.
  8. Place the top buns over the meat and pickles. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Brush the glaze over the bun tops and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  9. Return the sliders (on the baking sheet) to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the bun tops are golden brown.
