Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (115g) mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp (30g) yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp (15g) sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tsp (5g) white vinegar
  • 1 tsp (5g) paprika
  • 1/8 tsp (0.5g) garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp (0.5g) onion powder
  • 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef
  • 1 pack (12 count) Hawaiian rolls
  • 6 slices (110g) American cheese
  • 1/4 cup (40g) finely diced white onion
  • 1 cup (30g) shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 12 dill pickle slices
  • 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp (8g) sesame seeds

Instructions:

  1. Combine mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Stir until velvety and refrigerate.
  2. Press the ground beef into a flat rectangle the size of the rolls in a hot skillet. Sear over medium-high heat until a deep brown crust forms, flip, cook through, and remove from heat.
  3. Slice the slab of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Layer the seared beef over the rolls, followed by American cheese, diced onions, and pickle slices.
  5. Place the top bun slab onto the sliders. Brush the tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and buns are mahogany-colored.
  7. Add shredded iceberg lettuce and drizzle with the special sauce after baking.
