Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls or soft dinner rolls)
• 6 slices cheddar or American cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1/4 cup diced pickles (optional)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onions (optional)

For the garlic butter topping:

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the beef: In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set the beef aside.
3. Assemble the sliders: Without separating the buns, slice the entire pack of slider rolls in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
4. Spread the sauces: Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard evenly over the bottom half of the buns. Layer the cooked beef on top, followed by the cheese slices. Sprinkle with diced pickles and onions if desired.
5. Add the top buns: Place the top half of the slider buns over the cheese and beef layer.
6. Prepare the garlic butter topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and sesame seeds. Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the sliders.
7. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
8. Serve: Let the sliders cool slightly, then pull them apart and serve warm.
