Ingredients
- 12 dinner rolls cut in half
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Better Than Bouillon Beef
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup yellow onion finely chopped
- 10-12 Kraft American Cheese Slices cut each slice into 4 squares
- 20-24 dill pickle chips
- ¼ cup water
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Optional: ketchup, mustard
Instructions
- In a large bowl add the ground beef, Better Than Bouillon Beef, and garlic powder. Mix together with a large spoon, or your hands until combined.
- Line a 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the ground beef mixture and spread to the sides until it forms a flat even layer. Using a knife, cut into 12 equal squares (3x4: about the same size as the dinner rolls). Using the end of the spoon, create 5 holes in each patty.
- Place the ground beef baking sheet in the freezer for 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Remove ground beef baking sheet from the freezer and break patties apart. Throw away the parchment paper.
- Add the onions to the bottom of the baking sheet and spread evenly. Add ¼ cup water to the onions. Place the frozen beef patties directly on top of the onions and water. Sprinkle the ground beef with salt and pepper and then place in the oven and allow beef to steam cook for 10 minutes.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven and place the bottom of each dinner roll on a hamburger patty. Place the tops of the dinner rolls in a staggered pattern over the bottom pieces of the dinner rolls.
- Place the baking sheet back in the oven and let cook for 3 minutes.
- Take the baking sheet back out of the oven and use a spatula to scoop up each meat patty with onions and bottom bun attached, and add 3 cheese slices to each slider.
- Add optional condiments: dill pickle chips, ketchup, mustard.
- Place the top bun on the condiments and serve sliders immediately.
Notes
Storage:
- In The Refrigerator: Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. If you are preparing in advance, make sure to store everything separately in the fridge until you are ready to cook the cheeseburgers.
- In The Freezer: For longer storage, wrap the cooled and assembled sliders in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Thaw the in the refrigerator before reheating.
- To Reheat: To reheat your sliders place them in the microwave with a damp sheet of paper towel and cook on half power for around 1 minute 20 seconds for 2 sliders or until hot. You can also wrap them in foil and heat in a 350°F oven for 10–12 minutes.
- Make sure not to let the bottom of your buns touch the water or they’ll soak up the liquid.
- Finely chop the onions, spread them evenly on the pan, and then cook the patties on top of the onions. This will allow the steam to infuse the beef and buns with the signature slider flavor.
- Place the buns directly on top of the cooking patties. The steam from the onions and beef keeps the buns soft and moist while absorbing the flavor.
- Those five holes are not for decoration! They allow the burger to be cooked without flipping.
