Ingredients

Cheeseburger Sliders

1 pound ground beef (I use 93/7)
1 small yellow onion finely diced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 package (12 count) King's Hawaiian Savory Butter Slider Rolls
8-10 slices processed American cheese (like Kraft singles)

Seasoned Butter Topping

2 tablespoons butter melted
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet or a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
^{* I use a 9x13 baking pan and it helps to spray the pan first and then line it with parchment paper. The spray helps the paper adhere to and stay in the pan.}
In a skillet pan, over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, finely diced onion, kosher salt, and pepper. Cook and crumble the ground beef until it's no longer pink and the onions are softened. Drain the excess grease liquid from the pan.
1 pound ground beef, 1 small yellow onion, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Stir the ketchup into the ground beef until it's well coated.
^{* I like to leave the heat on for this to help the ketchup easily mix into the beef.}
2 tablespoons ketchup
Keeping the rolls attached, use a serrated knife to cut the slider rolls in half lengthwise. You should end up with a top bun layer and a bottom bun layer of attached slider rolls.

8-10 slices processed American cheese
Stir together the melted butter, dijon mustard, wrocestershire sauce, and everything bagel seasoning in a small bowl. Use a basting brush to brush the mixture over top the slider rolls.
2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
Bake for 10-13 minutes or until the rolls are toasted and the cheese is melted.
Serve immediately as is or with some hamburger toppings like sliced dill pickles, shredded lettuce, and sliced tomato.

Notes

Serving Suggestions : I always serve these sliders with some sliced dill pickles on the side. Not all my family loves pickles, so this way whoever loves them can easily add them onto their slider. You could even use shredded green lettuce and sliced tomato as another topping option. Or eat the sliders as is, they are so delicious!

Baking Pan : You can use either a baking sheet (like a cookie sheet) lined with parchment paper or a 9x13 pan lined with parchment paper. The slider rolls obviously won't fill up either pan, but that's fine, cause they just need to toast and warm in the oven.

Cheese : You can use sliced cheddar cheese, or another variety, but just know that it won't melt as smoothly and melty (gooey) as the process American cheese will. For some spice use sliced Pepper Jack cheese. Or stick with mild cheddar cheese or Colby Jack cheese.

Make It Spicy! : For a spicy hamburger filling try adding some cayenne red pepper, red pepper chili flakes, chili powder, or use spicy ketchup in the recipe.
Ground Meat : Using ground turkey is another option if wanted.
