Ingredients

12 Hawaiian Rolls
1 lb. ground beef 80/20
12 slices American Cheese
6 slices Bacon cooked
12 slices Pickles
ketchup and mustard or condiments of your choice; ketchup and mayonnaise spread in rolls also works well
¼ tsp. Salt
2 teaspoon Olive oil
1 Tbsp. Onion powder
2 teaspoon Sesame seeds
1 Tbsp. Butter melted
1 tsp. Garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F. In a large skillet, heat olive oil, then add ground beef seasoned with salt and onion powder, and cook until the meat is cooked through. Drain grease when done cooking.
Split the rolls in half, setting the tops aside.
Place the bottoms of the rolls back in the paper container.
Place 6 slices of American cheese, one on each bottom roll.
Spread beef mixture over the cheese.
Using your remaining slices of cheese, create a second layer of cheese over the top.
Break up the cooked bacon into 12 pieces and add a piece to each roll.
Add a pickle slice to each roll.
Drizzle with ketchup and mustard or add ketchup and mayonnaise mixture to top buns by spreading inside (optional).
Add the tops of the rolls. Cover the sliders and container with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil after 15 minutes is up and brush the rolls with melted butter mixed with garlic powder, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. (optional)
Bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is completely melted. Serve, and enjoy!
