Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
12 rolls slider rolls
8 oz cheddar cheese
0.333 cup dill pickles
2 tbsp burger sauce
0.5 medium yellow onion
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp kosher salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp butter

Cooking instructions

Heat the oven to 350°F. Slice the rolls horizontally as one connected slab, keeping the tops and bottoms intact. (about 5 min) — 350°F
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and finely chopped onion, then season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up the beef, until browned and the thickest portion reaches 160°F, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed. (about 10 min) — 160°F
Place the roll bottoms in a baking dish. Spread the cooked beef evenly over them, cover with the cheddar, and place the roll tops over the cheese. (about 3 min)
Bake until the cheese is fully melted and the rolls are warmed, about 10 minutes. (about 10 min) — 350°F
Lift off the roll tops. Add the pickles and spread the burger sauce over the beef, then replace the tops. Brush the rolls with melted butter if desired and cut into individual sliders. (about 2 min)
