Cheeseburger Sliders Casserole

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
• Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
• Season the beef with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and drain any excess fat.

2. Assemble the Sliders:

• Split the slider buns or Hawaiian rolls in half. Place the bottom halves in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
• Spread the mayonnaise evenly on the bottom halves of the buns.
• Spoon the ground beef mixture evenly over the buns.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the ground beef.
• Place the top halves of the buns over the cheese.

3. Make the Sauce:

• In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and mustard.
• Spread this mixture evenly over the tops of the buns.

4. Bake the Sliders:

• Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
• Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

5. Serve:

• Remove from the oven and let the sliders cool for a few minutes before serving.
• Cut into individual sliders and serve warm.
